I have been thinking about my old friend Josh Gale lately. I don't know why he is coming into my head, but he is.
We didn't part on good terms the last time we saw each other, in fact, we parted on very bad terms.
In fact, he may even think that I betrayed him. Maybe?
In a nutshell, we'd made certain agreements for him staying with me on three occasions, none of which he kept. In fact, I felt pretty well used by him, taken advantage of. Then there was a forth time when he probably needed my help, with the previous disasters really fresh in my mind, I turned him away, determined not to be used by him again.
That was 13 years ago. He now lives in Berlin.
We were like best friends, at one point. He got to know all my friends over a ten year period, and they all liked him.
I liked him too, he's smart and interesting. He really was one of my favourite people. And I was his.
So, anyway, I have no idea why he is coming into my head, but he has been for some weeks.
I didn't know how to contact him, but I tracked him down on Facebook. I can send him a message without being friends with him on Facebook.
I wrote a message, "So, where were we?"
I went to push send, and I hesitated. Why am I doing this, I thought?
And I haven't sent any message.
Should I?
Shouldn't I?
Maybe, there has been, as they say, too much water under the bridge? Maybe?
Now, I'm not sure if I should, or I shouldn't?
Oh, what to do?

Some of the best friendships can be those that reconnect after many years absence. Even if there was perhaps a "misunderstanding" involved. Time is a great healer. Yes, go ahead and post, I say. If nothing else, I am intrigued to find out what happens next...
So, I messaged him, after reading your message. Be brave, I thought. You know, it is generally the things you don’t do that you regret, not normally the things you do, so with that in mind... I though to myself afterwards, I am only assuming he still lives in Berlin, funny if he was back living in Melbourne, and he arrived at my front door, and the next thing he is sitting here with me. That would be a trip. Anyway, lets see what happens.
