Going Back

Things happen in life that make you wonder if you can go back. Back to an old job, back to an old place or back to an old flame.

The last two have come into play for me in my life and I acted on one and have not regretted my decision.

I like where I have moved to and making a lot of positive changes in my life. I am much more healthier than I have been in years and love how I feel mentally, physically and spiritually.

Then... boom! An old flame from 20 years ago returns. We talked for hours recently, catching up on where we are, what we are doing and how life has been the past 20 years. The irony? He lives where I came from, 3000 miles away.

Whatever the reason, it gave me food for thought. Once a relationship is really over, to me it is over and there is no going back. He kind of opened my eyes to a new way of seeing things. Maybe I do give him another chance and see where it take us. We talked easily, without missing a beat, as if 20 years had not past. He has become a different person as I have.

I guess it is good to have that time away to grow and change. We have a foundation of the past that we can rebuild a friendship.

The moral of the story is not to close the door all the way but to leave it ajar, just in case someone that was good in your life in the past, wants to knock and come in again.
