someone i used to know a decade ago just overdosed this morning.
our last convo was way back in 2017. we shared a love of film cameras and would endlessly nerd out over gear. I scrolled through our old messages, wishing that i'd done more keep in touch.
it got me thinking about all of the people who'd impacted my life at some point, and how many of those friendships had faded away with the years.
there was one friend in particular that came to mind. someone who was my best friend at one point.
and out of the blue, he texted me to catch up.

There are folks that I met on tumblr as a teenager
With whom I'm still in contact today.
These are people that I've never met face to face,
But whose secrets I know, whose angsts I know.
People I have grown into adulthood with.
People who have surprised me,
People who have met my expectations,
People who are working, or aren't,
People who now have kids, or don't.
People who I am tied to by ethereal internet threads that have remained unsevered for over a decade.
Every once in a while we message each other,
And it feels like catching up with an old friend.
The modes of our communication,
Remain the same.

one of the few friends i had in high school and i lost touch over the years and i had this inexplicable urge to talk to her and express my gratitude for being my friend . it came out of nowhere since we hadn’t spoken in years... i tried everything and i even resorted to making a Craigslist post directed to her because i couldnt Ignore the instinct to speak with her? the post timed out and its been a couple months since that brief obsession. But tonight she fucking made a random account on Facebook and messaged me directly. she never saw the post and never received any of my old messages, it’s like we were simply on the same wavelength, picking up on the same frequency…I think that’s fucking cool. And I’ve missed this freak. so I’m pretty psyched. And I believe more and more everyday in the unseen and the unexplainable

Yesterday, a friend I hadn't talked to in two years contacted me. I was so happy to hear from her and to hear that she was doing well. It made my day knowing that she thought of me randomly. Now i'm going to meet with her next week.
This is your sign to reach out to old friends again.

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public
this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago
no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI
a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account
so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
