Exactly one year ago, I received a message in my message box. “Hello. Thank you for connecting. You look familiar.”
Hmm… 🧐
I clicked on the profile. No! It’s Patrick! The last time I heard from him was 20 years ago.
So apparently, I’ve posted a picture with my colleague of mine who shares a mutual connection with him. And that was how he found me.
Yes, social media can be an amazing tool for reconnecting with old friends. Honestly, I find it easier to reconnect with old friends through social media than through other methods like email or phone calls.
Social media also allowed me to catch up on what my old friends have been doing, and it’s always nice to see pictures of their families at the tip of my thumb, scrolling up. And… It can also be a great reminder tool for birthdays like Facebook!
Have you found long lost friends before on social media?
Anyways, Happy 1st Year Anniversary, Patrick. Let’s not wait for another 20 years eh!
