Keeping in touch... (not one of strengths!!)

Well, most of my friends can tell you that i am not the best person at keeping in touch. I honestly feel like i have no excuse. Other people can do it so i should be able to. At the same time however, no matter what kind of internet thingy comes out (facebook, messenger, skype), I often forget to share with the people that are not around all the experiences that i should share. Here are some of my thoughts about it:

I often think that i should email or call someone, but i am not determined enough to just go to my computer and write an email right away (i definitely have to work on that). Believe me though, different memories come to my mind daily about people that are on different parts of the world, a hairstyle someone else had, a joke someone told, a song that reminds me of someone or some specific moment, a piece of advice some once told me... I am constantly reminded of people.

I recognize that this is not the most direct way or internet thingy that i can use to communicate with people but at least it is another way of keeping people posted on what i do with my life. It's one more resource.

Something else that i thought about all these internet thingies is that as much as they help me keep in touch with people, i often feel like i forgot to send a message to someone. Now that it is so easy to send a message to people across the world, i feel like i should, only because it's really easy. Sometimes, this makes me feel sort of frustrated because there is so many people that i think are great and i would like to continue talking to them...

I also think that i focus on the place that i am at the moment. I don't know if it's because i am a man that fits the stereotype of not being able to be focusing on many things at the same time but i am definitely better at being here. (so i recommend all of you to personally come and see me because i'm better LIVE than through internet connections hehe).

As you can probably tell, i have no clear thoughts about this but at least now you know some of them... i'll let you know if anything new comes up and feel free to add any of your thoughts.
