If you've been struggling with a relationship for a little while now, today could be a turning point. It's hard to say why something shifts between two people, but one of those tension-easing changes is poised to take place. Take a deep breath and you might even notice that the difference isn't so much in them, or in your duo's dynamic; it's more like a shift is taking place within you. So go ahead and try again with this person. You'll both be glad you did.
This comes at an interesting time. I've been thinking about Charles lately. Not that I want him back, or that I'm so angry at him, or any real heavy emotion at all. I was thinking more about the intensity we had and the fun and excitement we shared. It's that I missed. Not longingly, but just the thought of it made me smile.
So yesterday I sent him an email. Just to let him know that I don't have any ill-feelings toward him, and to thank him for bringing me out here because I really do like it here. And finally that I hoped he was doing well.
I think I sent it more for me. Sending that forgiveness out there made me feel better.
I think it's strange how quickly things, emotions can change. I don't know what shifted in him to make him want to leave me. But I knew the moment I stopped loving him -- the moment I drove out of the driveway for the last time.
I am sorry that he did what he did and admire your positive attitude about it.
ReplyDeleteSince I have been reading your blog, I have wanted to recommend a blog to you that takes pictures of their hometown every Friday based on themes. People from all over the world participate. I think you would be a good participant since you take a lot of photos. Here is the website: http://mytownshootout.blogspot.com/
