Nostalgia isn’t only a hell of a drug, but it’s a hell of an addiction too. Chasing times when you last felt good or when you felt things were right. Getting in touch with old flames that you forgot that there were reasons you moved on from, until you read the painful endings as to why those connections died.
Having those rose-tinted shades aren’t always good for you.
Small talk is actually really easy. Just ask questions and then questions about what you heard. Hopefully they’ll be good at conversation and ask you as well, but it’s okay to be a little one sided.
