A friend I drifted from just texted me — do I let them back in?
The text is casual on the surface, but you're reading it three times anyway, trying to figure out what it actually means. A year of drift doesn't undo itself in one message.
You don't have to decide right now whether to go all-in or stay guarded. Practicing the reply — and the conversation after it — gives you a way to test the water before you commit either way.
You and your closest friend have drifted this past year. Out of the blue she texts "hey, how are you?" Is this a chance to reconnect — or another round of polite distance?
