Overview
A long lost friend reappears in your life today through email or some other type of online correspondence. If you're not certain how you want to reply (or even if you want to reply), respect that feeling and sit with it for a while. There is a reason you are hesitant to reconnect, and you need time to figure out exactly what that is. Do not follow peer pressure on this situation. This is a decision you'll come to when you come to it, no sooner and no later.
