And no one ever talks about how hard it is to be grateful and sad at the same time. Youโre going through something but still aware of how blessed you are. That constant shift in perspective is exhausting in itself.
You dated someone. You loved them.โจIt didnโt work. They left.โจYou both moved on.
Almost a year later, they come back saying โIโm sorryโฆ can we try again?โ
Please think.
Sometimes theyโre not coming back because youโre special.โจTheyโre coming back because youโre familiar.โจBecause you were easy to access.โจBecause they think youโll still be there.โจBecause they believe they can walk in and out of your life without consequences.
Not every apology is love.โจSometimes itโs just convenience.
If someone left you once, built a life without you, and only returns when it suits them ask yourself why now.
Closure doesnโt always mean reopening the door.
And no, it wonโt magically work just because time has passed.โจPatterns donโt disappear. They pause.
Have you heard of "The Sunflower Theoryโ?
They say when you give someone sunflowers, you should always give two. Because when the sun shines bright, sunflowers face the light. But when night falls, they turn to face eachother, finding light in one another. So when you gift someone sunflowers, you're really saying, "Even in the dark, you're my light." Beautiful, isn't it?
