BB2ME #16 — Time with old friends brings me tremendous joy
Is Facebook a good way to maintain a friendship? Yes — it is.
Facebook is excellent for posting pictures, sharing updates, and letting your friends get a glimpse into your life. I enjoy the platform and spend a fair amount of time on it.
But, nothing replaces spending time with your friends in person.
Especially those who do not live locally.
Many of my friends live elsewhere
As both of you know — I went into the military after graduating college. The next decade was spent at various locations around the country and the world.
Many of my friendships formed while I was in the military.
As a result — many of my best friends do not live in the local Washington DC area. Instead, they are all over the country.
I use Facebook to communicate with them.
It is also a convenient way to stay connected with my high school and college friends. They live elsewhere as well.
