Have you ever drifted apart from someone and then gotten back in touch?
I've had the pleasure of reconnecting with a few people recently, college friends and cousins among them. In the case of one of my college friends, we both felt like we had been remiss about calling, emailing, and so on. We also came to the conclusion that during college, one is often lulled into a false sense of how easy keeping in touch is--a quick call or text, an im conversation, some face time in the res hall, an afternoon or night out with friends, and so on. After college is a different story, and keeping in touch only gets harder with time and increasing activities and obligations. We vowed to feel less guilty about all the keeping in touch we feel we should be doing, and feel content to do what we can. Either way, reconnecting again is rewarding in and of itself.
