It’s funny how time can change your views on things: relationships, careers, blogging, you name it. Time has a way of romanticizing and idealizing the good bits, while the bad ones either fade into the recesses of an overcrowded brain or fester and multiply until their impact far outweighs the actual memory.
Where do you even start to try to find the truth in memory? Is it possible to recapture the feeling of butterflies after a first date if you’ve already seen the relationship crash and burn? Is it even important to remember actuality versus the comfort of starry-eyed nostalgia?
Looking back at childhood we can appreciate the value of a good nap, while every toddler fights and screams to stay awake past his bedtime. An ex usually looks infinitely more attractive with a new fling on their arm. A wild night out with friends can be much more fun to relive through storytelling and photo posting to story board the most exciting moments and inside jokes.
The question- Is that feeling strong enough to draw you back in? Have you found independence in your freedom or just loneliness? Is it a love worth fighting for? Is it a friendship worth resurrecting? Is it a pastime worth dedicating yourself to?
Only time can tell, and time can be a fickle bitch.

Over time, I’ve become LESS needy for a dude, but MORE afraid of being 37 and searching through catalogs for sperm.
I have no idea what this combination means.
I’m enlightened…but not TOO enlightened?

well HELLO my dear. Nice to see you back to blogging.
“Is it a friendship worth resurrecting?”
that really depends. I have resurrected a few friendships with women in my life and THAT was worth it. But any recycled male friendships have been more than a disaster.
PS: I still LOVE a good nap. Thats for sure

I guess I must have spoken too soon about you being back to blogging?

I have always thought being friends with exes and even getting back together have been ok, but it’s been a mistake in most cases.

Hey, I see you took a brief hiatus. Don’t stay too long
