Encouragement
I highly encourage you to reach out to the person and attempt to schedule a time to catch up over the phone, over a meal, etc. Our lives are busy, and an old friend reaching out can sometimes go unnoticed if the timing or situation isn’t right. Seeing them or speaking to them on the phone can make this experience more genuine and impactful. Taking this step not only fosters personal connections but also opens doors to new opportunities and shared memories.
