Childhood friends

Has anyone,like me.Ever wondered what happened to those childhood friends you lost contact with long ago? Maybe you wish you could find out what they're up to now?
Or perhaps you'd rather leave them in the past?

I reconnected with my 1st gf a few years ago. I was nice having some closure and understanding just what had happened. We had broken up kind of abruptly and I moved countries soon after and lost contact. I had many questions that remained unanswered for decades, and it was nice finally knowing the answers. At around the same time I also reconnected with my best friend at that time, but then I realize how much people change.

In short, I appreciate having the opportunity to reconnect, but then I realized that I was better to leave things in the past. What we *really* want is not reconnecting with our old friends, but "going back in time" and experience the good things we experienced in our younger years, and that is just not possible.
