We all have those friends and family members that we use to be super close with, but for some reason or another we lose touch and no matter how hard we try we just can't reconnect.
A lot of us can understand that grown up life is ridiculously busy. We move, we graduate, we meet new people, we go down different life paths, and we make new choices. Our evolving personalities never cease, but our hearts will always hold the memories of the people who helped shape who we are today. Sometimes the change isn't easy and we can be forced out of the lives of others, whether by their choices or our own. We are left wondering and hoping that they are still doing well and thriving on their journey.
That is why I write this article. For those, that no matter how hard we try, we just can't seem to fall back in sync with each others lives. From the failed attempts to meet back up, to the words that just never get said due to busy schedule or simply not knowing how to even start that conversation. I can't tell you how many times I've opened a draft to write to someone, only to erase everything I wrote and promise myself to try another day. Wanting to just wish someone well, to see if they're okay, but not wanting to come off as the person who only comes around for convenience or to promise another empty promise.
To those I've lost touch with and we were once close, know that I am always rooting for you. I wish you a life time of happiness and genuinely believe you deserve it. I don't want this to be a superficial "I wish you well so you still like me" sort of situation. I want you to know that whatever season of life you are going through, whatever struggle you are facing, whatever battle you think no one cares that you have to fight alone, you are not alone and I still very much care how you are doing. I don't know how to help or if I even could begin to understand as years have made us strangers once again. My prayers still include your names and if ever truly needed I am a call/message away.
I love you and hope you are well.
