Reconnect

In high school, I used to find comfort in seeing my friends online really late at night when I was online late studying or doing whatever. It brought me comfort to know that I wasn't alone, especially during the frustrating times of studying. I could complain to them and we would bitch over things in a fun matter as in the "this sucks so much that there's no need for vacuum cleaners bc it sucked all the dirt in the world already" kind not the emo "eff the world!!!!! I want to go to a dark, dark hole where cute animals go to die and cry" kind. Now i've noticed that when you stay up late on AIM, old friends or friends you don't normally talk to IM you. It's a pleasant surprise when i'm studying and these random IM boxes pop up. I guess when you're all up for your own reasons, we like to connect with one another. We enjoy the company of one another, even when it's just online. And as the nights get later & later, your inhibitions also get lower & lower and you're more real with each other. Sometimes you have silly conversations and if you're lucky, you get a real good conversation once in awhile. Or I also like the short IM conversations that basically consist of them telling you to go to sleep because they care for your well being. It's nice to talk to a friend you usually don't talk to or haven't talked to in awhile. There's a reconnection.

I like that.
