isn't it amazing how people from your past can just sneak up on you and kick you right where it hurts? people who have been out of your life for years and years....the same people you saw evolve into grownups, but you thought you would never hear from again?
i got an MSN message lastnight, just as i had hopped into bed...and of course, curiousity got to me...so i checked up on it. turns out it was an old flame of mine. someone who i once thought was my soulmate. anyhow, we last talked about a year ago and he told me that he was planning on asking his current girlfriend (the one that came right after me) to marry him. i figured it was coming, so i wasn't all that taken aback.
so, then, you ask.....why would i feel like i had been kicked in the gut when i was so lovingly informed lastnight that she was expecting his child?
babies are just so final i guess....and just knowing that this guy had gone from virginal churchgoer to party-dude to loving father caught me a little off guard. everyone around me is growing up and i am kind of being left behind.
so after the shock (and nausea) had subsided, i got over it...i wish all the best for him, i really do...but next time, i hope the old beaus keep the juicy details to themselves.
