I'm going to see a friend next weekend. It'll be the first time I've hung out with any of my friends in person on almost a year. I haven't seen this one in over 3 years. A lot had changed since then and a lot more is about to change. We've been intertwined for a very long time. I'm equally excited & nervous. It's going to get a little weird. ðŸ«

You'll do great! And if they're a good friend, they won't mind the weird. Speaking as a person who recently hung out with a friend I hadn't seen in almost 5 years. We do text semi-regularly.
I've connected with "good friends" that I had not seen, or contacted, in over a decade. It's so amazing to see what parts of them haven't changed at all, and which parts have changed through growth and understanding. Also, each of us remembering events the other hadn't thought about in forever. A memory that was near being forgotten, but saved through a brief and valuable reconnection. Enjoy!
Some people just resonate. We're actually very close, long distance... it's just so much more meaningful in person
