We're Officially Friends Now.

This is stupid, I know, but I'm really happy that I'm facebook friends with John now. I can't remember the last time I was genuinely happy to become facebook friends with someone. I know that being friends on facebook doesn't amount to much these days, but for me, this is huge.

I noticed some activity in my feed yesterday, and so I messaged him, and he wrote back:

Hope your semester's off to a great start! You're only friends with Jess and Tony? Did you deactivate and reactivate your account? Oh, and if you did...you might want to re-check your privacy settings.

What?! Two years away from facebook and you didn't know? Clearly you have not been facebook for its intended purpose of stalking. Also, privacy settings? What did zuckerberg do this time?

Lol a lot has changed on fb in the past two years. Just make sure people who you're not friends with can't see anything you don't want them to see, or be able to search for you and so on. Not that you have any incriminating photos/posts up...yet.

Then he friend requested me. I don't know if it's because we're okay now, or if he felt obliged to friend me, or because he wants to stalk me... Regardless of the reason, I'm happy. Really happy. 

Of course I didn't stalk him. Well...not much. Why? To protect myself. Because I know that there will always be a part of me who will never forget him. Because I still care about him. Because I'm stupid like that. Now that we're friends, I find that I need to actively practice self-discipline, so I don't go bombarding his wall or inbox with posts, even though I really want to. 

I mean, never in a million years would he want me back, and unless major changes take place, I can't take him back. Not that he's interested. 

For now, though, I'm just happy that we can talk.
