K.I.T — is written throughout my high school yearbook, along with well-wishes for facing the unknown from past friends, whom I haven’t spoken to since.
A different person comes to mind with each passing day, sometimes an old friend, other times a relative.
We sit for a moment and wonder, “How is ____ doing?”
Yet we stop there, neglecting our relationship
But why?
Why don’t we reach out to them?
Why don’t we reach out then, when that person comes to mind?
Perhaps it feels better to simply reminisce on old times instead of discussing current ones. Maybe we feel ashamed or embarrassed by our “lack of success”. Or could it be the opposite, that we’ve become more allied with our new found “glow up” than past friendship?
Life is fleeting and our time on earth is finite.

“Hey, I was thinking of you… How are you doing?”
