I attended a retreat sort reunion last weekend with a friend who used to be the crush of the another attendee. Our other friend asked her if she didn’t feel like the friend was the one who got away. Before she could answer, I had to butt in and say “No, you should think that you’re the one who got away.”
I actually believe that. I think it’s time I stop loathing myself and start thinking instead that if I didn’t end up with a certain person, it’s as much his loss as it is mine. No, scratch that. It is more his loss than mine. It’s time that I stop thinking that he’s just not that into me. Rather, I’m the one who’s not that into him. I should’ve learned all this three years ago. But then, it’s still great to be at my age and be enlightened. And enlightened for good, I hope.
unearthing words from my heart
