I generally feel like it’s worth it. Even if that worth is only validating why you stopped chatting to that person in the first place.

Especially because I have no irl-linked social media, Im often initiating contact… But I like checking in on random people every few years or so, you never know, you might brighten someone’s day; develop connections you might not have with acquaintances because you’ve both changed; or at the very least, reminding yourself that there’s no loss if you don’t talk to that person ever again!

I’d rather be regretting my interaction than to regret not interacting at all.
