Last night, phone call with an old friend and roommate from Buisness school. This was twenty years ago. It felt incredibly good and warm to speak to him after all this time (nickname: Bunny!!) and hear from the people who were close at that time. Surprisingly, there has been a deep feeling of happiness, comfort and belonging since the phone call. A generation thing? A trend thing? Finding the old chums seems to become an overwhelming priority for many of us at some point.
Up to now, past was to be left in the past. Not intentionally, however naturally the focus was on the future, the new adventures to live, the new chapters to write. This was where the excitment was! And here we are now, on Facebook or Friends Reunited, going back to old chapters, reading them again and bringing them back into the present life.
Is connecting with the past a stronger necessity that we might think?

Sometimes when the present is uncomfortable or the future too dark it is comforting. The instinct to connect with the past can be powerful and the short term gratification pleasing however after one is left with feelings like ghosts, fleeting and never caught on camera
