Do you ever look up old friends/lovers?

During the past 6 months, I've looked up 3 guys that I used to date, and haven't spoken to in many years, only to find their obituaries. It's not that I wanted to reconnect -- I was just curious about where they may be in this stage of life.

Now I know.

I have the same curiosity. Sometimes the digging leads me to their happy place in life, but sometimes it doesn’t. Revealing the latter hurt more than I thought it would, so a couple of years back I stopped the curiosity from taking hold ever again. Now the people from my past stay there and instead of my mind drifting to wonder what their lives entail now, I instead let it take me back to the good times I shared with them.
