Does it mean anything

The last year or so I keep bumping into people from my past. They are all good people and represented good things way back when. Without starting a Bristol Cavendish thread, to those thinkers on here does it mean anything?

I guess it means that all of you have been visiting to the same places.

Coincidence (unless you adhere to the Shirley McLaine school of reality which would include and/or involve spirit forces, past lives, parallel universes and paradigm shifts in collective consciousness).

I can appreciate your straightforward response and clarity of perspective.

I don't think it 'means' anything but it does sound like a great opportunity to meet up with old friends for some good time.

BC, your input/threads are def interesting. OP, sounds like you were very social in your past and know a lot of people. I reluctantly have to agree with BC...coincidental.

No, I don't think it does but if you like the people and want to be involved with them as friends again ask them over for dinner. The funny thing is that people change and they are likely not the same as you remember them to be... Maybe better, Maybe worse but probable different.

The meaning I might take from it is your feelings about those meetings. Sounds as though you're missing something from those way back when days, and perhaps you're trying to tell yourself it's time to go out and get yourself some of whatever that is.

Definitely not. I'm guessing just strange coincidences.

I rarely bump into anyone from my past, which suits me just fine.
