It’s completely normal to feel both excited and nervous about reconnecting after a long time apart. Try to focus on the shared history you have—sometimes that’s enough to break the ice and get the conversation flowing. Go in with an open mind and low expectations; even if you’ve both changed, that can be a great starting point for a new kind of friendship. Just take it one step at a time, and remember, it’s okay if things feel a little awkward at first.
