I don't mean to be a web-stalker, but... every few years, curiosity gets the better of me, and I Google the name of my first girlfriend. I haven't really spoken to her since shortly after her junior prom. I'm not sure what happened between us... the relationship just sort of died.
Facebook informs me that she's married now. Has a really cute kid. A handsome husband. Looks like she's got a PhD in pharmacology. I think she and Meredith would really hit it off, if she's anything like she was ten years ago.
It's funny. Back then, she wanted to be a marine biologist. I wanted to be a novelist. She got closer to her high-school career goal than I did -- not that I'm complaining about my career.
Honestly, I miss our friendship. I tried emailing her twice over the last decade, and got no response. Maybe she didn't get the emails, maybe she didn't want to talk to ghosts. But N., if you ever stumble across this, and want to get back in touch, please let me know. I know I'd like to hear from you.
