I truly appreciate those who reached out even when what I wrote didn't exactly sound like a 'typical' ad. It was more of a venting out rather than a holler for a pen pal. But since I do enjoy exchanging thoughts, I hope that future 'reach outs' will, at least, touch on the essence of my post. I notice that many don't seem to 'bother' reading what the post was about. Yeah, wishful thinking, eh? :)
EDIT: Feb 21 2023
I read something that, without even an iota of doubt, encouraged me to move on. I could risk being labeled 'judgmental' for doing so but it's a risk I'm very much willing to make. Because finally, I'M FREE!
My post of Feb 20 2023:
Yesterday, I learned yet another valuable life lesson:
Avoid acting on impulse!
So many moons ago, I made the grave mistake of disconnecting from what could have been a great friendship. And every day since, I wished for something that many people hoped for - a chance to turn back time.
I frequented this site, where it all started, too many times for comfort - for reasons too many to count but always boiled down to THAT unconscious (and probably self-hid) hope.
Fortunately (or otherwise), I glimpsed that hope several moons after. But alas, while the response was polite and respectful, it was a curt rejection.
Not a day passed that my mind didn't travel back in time to that fateful 'disconnection' day. And believe me, it wasn't for lack of trying to forget. I even leveraged unkind perspectives on what transpired, hoping that they will help.
Then yesterday, in one of my many travels to the pages of this platform, I saw THE ad once again. The words were unmistakably his, sprinkled with hints of new here and there.
Now here comes the impulse part. Without an iota of a second thought, I reached out with a short well-wishing. I wasn't expecting it but was hoping for a response. Well, he did - curtly ... again. Not that I'm complaining. But what was worse was that I wrote back with what I now feel could have been a better response. Instead, I think I sounded like a know-it-all when I could have just said 'I missed you ... terribly! Can we be friends again? Start over?'
It has been said that life can throw you lemons, or something like that. Well, in my case, I'm the one doing the throwing at life. It feels frustrating at times. Many people in my life have seen me as someone smart and compassionate. But when my emotions are involved, I'm a kid unable to put a simple puzzle together, throwing tantrums for feeling emotionally helpless.
I often use the phrase c'est la vie when I communicate - ergo, my handle. Perhaps I'm better off saying c'est moi - but not proudly.
