DAE Feel the Urge to Connect with an Old Friend Again but at the Same Time Feel Afraid/Relunctant? What do you do in these cases?

Sometimes an old friend randomly pops up in my mind and the thought of catching up with them feels good. But at the same time it feels overwhelming, like I'm stepping out of bounds of some sorts.

Side Note: I'm using Jerboa for Lemmy and I'm not able to do text posts, hence the gorgeous Across the Spider-Verse image. How do I do a text post?

Oh yeah, the majority of my friendships have ended through just losing touch and me being hesitant to make the first move to reach back out. But at the risk of being hypocritical, just remember the proverb: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now."
