Reconnecting With Your People
"Make a list of people you want to reconnect with and reach out."
This was a recent note from my journal.
When I wrote down the names, the first ones were my fun friendships.
It's refreshing to hear from them. I get to feel their energy right away. As if no time had passed.
Something special about that.
I also get curious on what they are up to. Why did they choose to do certain things? What is driving them right now? How can I relate to what they are up to? Are they stuck? Are they exploring? Do they need a hand?
Or its just to catch up. And they keep things short.
I don't take it personal.
I am of the position that if the don't want to share much with me, that's fine.
But as long as I tried to make the re-connection, I am glad.
I remember a video about the amount of time left you have on average you see or spend with your friends / family until the long sleep...
And the numbers were low. Some were a few hundred days, some were just a few hours.
So I think, it's good to be intentional with who you reach out to.
You never know what it might turn into.
Some might give you a spark of energy. Others nothing at all. You might just have a good laugh together. And even make plans for the future together.
Who would you like to reconnect with?
