We never had a fight, but life just drifted us apart. One day, I realized I didn’t even know his number anymore.

I used to fake confidence at reunions—now I just say, “This feels weird, right?” Turns out, naming the awkwardness makes it disappear. Honest connection beats small talk every time.

I thought it’d be fun catching up, but something felt off. The laughs were familiar, but I wasn’t the same—and neither were they. Turns out, reconnecting with the past can stir unexpected emotions.
