What I mean by this is, when you start to get in touch with people and you get back in touch with those people from the past, the people with whom you worked or went to school, they are going to remember you as you were before your career break.
Cioé, quando inizi a relazionarti rimettendoti in contatto con persone del passato, persone con le quali hai lavorato o sei andata a scuola, queste ti ricorderanno per come eri prima della tua pausa lavorativa.
