A phrase used too much these days when we lose contact with people for an extended period of time, and then get back in touch.
By extended period of time, I mean relative to the usual level of communication you usually have with someone. If you usually speak every day or so, maybe it's a week. A less frequent contact, maybe months or even a year or so.
But I just wanted to take a moment to say, "hey, how you doing. I hope all is well with you. Maybe we can catch up some time. I'm always here."
It's so easy to lose touch with someone, in our busy lives with so many connections, people can fall off the radar for a bit before you realise. And by that time it feels awkward to suddenly pop up and say hi.
Personally, I don't mind, it can be a year for all I care, it is always good to catch up with old acquaintances. For others, they take offence that they have not been contacted and get shirty about it. Me, if I liked you, and we didn't fall out, all is well.
I have been kinda crazy busy the past 8 months or so, and am aware I have dropped the ball a bit with some people. So I want to make that right, and remind people regardless of what's going on, if you need me, I will do everything I can to be there for you. It's never a fuss. Although sometimes it takes a bit to get back depending on what's going on in life.
So.... Hey, how you doing? Let's catch up.
