A small hello can be enough.

Making the first move can feel vulnerable when you don't know how someone will respond. You don't have to write the perfect message or launch into a big conversation. A simple check-in can open the door. Whatever their response, wanting connection isn't something to be embarrassed about.

ONE SMALL STEP

If it feels right, send: “I was thinking of you. How have you been?”
