stumble the steps into the new-old.
the marketplace becomes a minefield for strange(r) interactions.
former classmates, former teachers, acquaintances,
people who were once really good friends, people you knew from church.
i knew who they were, but i don't know who they are.
they knew who i was, but they don't know who i am.
what's the remedy? how do you connect, four years removed?
to "start over" would be cliche and inappropriate, considering your former association.
to dodge the situation entirely would be impractical, and wouldn't actually solve the issue at hand.
one thing's for sure, though:
you're both walking differently this time around.
leave room for that.
