An old friend has been reaching out to me, wanting to reconnect, but the thought leaves me a bit apprehensive.

Don’t get me wrong, we were as thick as thieves many moons ago, but somehow I just feel like we’re living in two completely different worlds now.

I feel conflicted because part of me misses the friendship that we had, but the other part of me worries that things just won’t be the same.

I’m not the same person I was 10 years ago, or even 2 years ago for that matter. The things that we enjoyed doing together are no longer a part of my life.

I realize that it’s unfair of me to assume that nothing has changed on their end.

The bottom line is that I won’t know for certain if there is still a connection unless an actual interaction occurs. The question is whether or not I have the courage to follow through.

Only time will tell.
