Can I vague this up a little?
An opportunity has presented itself for me to get back in contact with a social circle I've effectively left. I am deeply divided about it. There are some people that I'd quite like to see again. Certain people that I'd just as soon not interact with again probably won't be involved. And then there's the rest. There's some hefty baggage there ( Read more... )

If you've been away long enough, then the odds of you being "sucked back in" are pretty low. But if you've been away long enough, then the desire you feel to return (to how things were, or more to the point, to how you wish they'd been) is also pretty low.
So from too much of a distance to really say, I'd speculate that you've been away not quite long enough. But, the opportunity is there to see people that you'd like to see. And to maybe clear some of the emotional patina from a few things/places/people. It might be worth it. If it doesn't work out, there is nothing keeping you from walking away; you're in control of it. Good luck, and hello to people if you go.

the desire you feel to return (to how things were, or more to the point, to how you wish they'd been)Oh, I have no desire at all to return to how things were, and I'm very clear that how I wish they'd been was never going to happen. From that perspective, I'm totally over it ( ... )
