It put a smile on my face when a colleague from 5 years ago, who I wasn’t that close to, and not really in touch with called me out of the blue to check on me and say hi!
It’s nice to know that you’re on someone’s mind, even though your paths don’t cross, and always great to catch up with old friends.
In this fast-paced life and crazy busy schedules, I often look back and regret not getting to know some people better…people who I have worked with or studied with on a daily basis, but was too preoccupied and too busy to get to know better on a personal level. As humans, we connect by sharing, but often we find ourselves putting barriers for all kinds of reasons. Behind these barriers there are people with interesting stories, personalities, experiences and lives and it amazes me that sometimes you could interact with someone everyday, and only find out a year later that he/she speaks 6 languages, or have a metal leg to replace the one lost in an accident, or some other interesting, random piece of information!

Yes, it’s fun to discover when people still remember you, after so much time has passed!
