I just got a message from an old friend and we're using words that I don't remember we used when we were together years ago as friends. It's kinda awkward but you could tell we're both happy to reconnect.

Have you ever reconnected with a friend after years apart... No conflict, just distance and things no longer feel the same?

What causes that awkward shift, and how do you navigate the friendship now? Should time apart really change what friendship means?
