Re-unions

Yesterday I had the fortune of spending time with a few friends from the past....

A  few fact about old friends that is universal & relatable by all of us

We don't meet them (in person) very often
We knew them in another time (at least a decade or more ago) 

Be prepared : Some reunions are fun and others are simply dreadful. 


The next time old friends, work colleagues or class mates meet & re-unite - 

Ask yourself
Q1. Do I truly want to meet my friends from the past or is it forced social obligation ?
Q2. How do I feel about myself in the presence of my old friends or colleagues ?
Q3. What has changed in me ? In what ways have I grown & changed over time ?

Here is my response to these questions based on yesterday ....

A1. I did want to meet my work colleagues - there is always laughter, teasing and an informal energy about meeting these specific people. 
A2.  I felt very secure and anchored in myself.
A3.  I realised the joy of having discovered my own path - professionally in the past few years. This insight was significant especially since i knew these friends from an earlier work context

Signing off until i meet someone from the past again
Have a great day !

Very nice seeing you three together :)

About meeting old friends or even relations, my biggest issue is that they might find me uninteresting and boring :(
