> I just stopped having a filter. When I think of someone, I just fire off a message This. I'm spending the week in my hometown with my 9-year old daughter to give her the chance of some time with her grandparents. We live hundreds of miles (and several countries) away. While walking along I mentioned to her that an old college friend of mine also lived in this town along with her husband and their daughter. For perspective: way back then we shared a house, during that time we both ground through our PhDs in parallel, later she and her husband came to our wedding, we went to their wedding, all that stuff. I explained to my daughter that we've not been in touch for the best part of 20 years and I was a bit sad about that. <my daughter thought for a bit> my daughter: "did you have a fight?" me: "no! of course not! why do you ask?" my daughter: "maybe you should just write to her"
