Facebook experiences

So, this Friday I checked out Facebook, since I hear people mention the site daily. Interesting to see some old friends on there that I had lost touch with.

Some of my friends have gone on to become mothers (in one case, I knew because I got the birth notices and baby pictures, but it was news to me in another case). Not that raising a family is for everyone, but it's one more symbol of growth and maturity that I seem to lack. It's not that I want to go around fathering kids, but it does make me think about how much of a rut I'm truly in. And I suspect the resulting inferiority I feel is why I lost touch with one of them.

In another case, a different friend has had a truly hellacious year filled with great changes, although he seems to be doing better now. This makes me think how much worse my life could be, and people can cope with great adversity, and so my own troubles should be a piece of cake.

His experiences actually raise the same sort of issues as the script I've been working on. I'll have to think about how they relate.
