I live far from my hometown, but I have recently reconnected with old school chums via facebook, including a girl who had bullied me mercilessly. I still remember the sting of her taunts (and how ridiculous they actually were). Not unlike Tina Fey in that 30 Rock ep, apparently I had my moments of bully-dom, but that's just sort of what adolescence is like.
She now lives here and we have become friends again. Speaking to her about our experiences and our hometown and the strangeness thereof (it's a seriously strange place) has been really edifying.
Even though our lives are very different, we have some fundamental things in common, a way of looking at the world that's not necessarily shared by other friends in our lives.
So, you never know, he might have changed and you may gain something valuable. If not, I keep a lot of people on ignore and set into groups so they can't see anything anyway.
