Little things keep happening to say &#8220;hey remember this? what about this? look over there, I bet you forgot all about that, but I didn&#8217;t! See?&#8221; I am not actively seeking this out, believe me.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I recently started working at my old job again, right? After I left in 2004, they naturally shut down my email address. Once I came back, they gave me my old email alias back, and it&#8217;s like I was never gone, only on pause. I am getting tons of junk mail, but I&#8217;m also still on lots of mailing lists I had joined back then. Companies I did business with are sending me updates and info and reminders. And one of those reminders was from FTD, the flower company, letting me know that it&#8217;s someone&#8217;s birthday on March 2nd, someone I had sent flowers to AGES ago, someone I was just fine not thinking about, someone who doesn&#8217;t need to be infiltrating my thoughts right now.<\/p>\n<p>But this isn&#8217;t the only instance. Other things keep coming up, little things that on their own wouldn&#8217;t be a big deal, but when you put them all together, there is definitely something going on. I should listen to what she&#8217;s saying, listen deep as Marianne might say. Maybe I need some help with that though. I&#8217;ve got a lot of cotton in my ears.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s strange that life can do that to you, can remind you of your old self, surprise you with it while you&#8217;re off looking at other things, and there&#8217;s not much you can do to prepare for it. It&#8217;s good for keeping you on your toes, that much is true.<\/p>\n<p>I am different now, even from just a year or two ago, but here I am, back in the same city, at the same job, looking at much the same things as I did before. The more things change the more they stay the same?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I am not as changed as I thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am not sure what the universe is up to, but she&#8217;s trying very hard to remind me of the past and I don&#8217;t know why.
