Just met someone and recalled how I felt when I met HW after years of non-contact.
The person standing in front of me seemed to be very familiar in the past, but upon more contact, I felt like there's a big void in between our lives. We're on different paths already... and emotionally, there's no strings attached already.
It's a weird, detached, yet pleasant feeling. So, this is what years of non-contact can bring to me- lots of reflection, acceptance, and therefore, peace within my soul. I could take whatever that has happened with grace, and now I'm a much better person. Still pretty confused, but at least I've moved on.
Looking forward to better days.
