Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Thanks for the reminder of the helpful posts which can enable me to let this idea rest. He still sends me birthday wishes each year even though I haven't sent him any in years.
I had to dig. I have forgotten that I have read some of those words (in 2 different posts, one from last October on friendships and one from 2013). Reading them again, made me realize that while ideally, it could seem nice, I don't think it would be worth it for me or him to be friends and that kind of sucks because he was the best one, the most special (for reasons you might not be able to guess), the only one I can say that I actually loved out of the relationships I have had. I'm going to spare you additional rambling in this post and just say that it might feel unbalanced. He was and still kind of is a unicorn but he can't be the only one..."An ex is an ex for a reason."
It's not everyone who is an ex (ex-lover, ex-friend, ex-boss, ex-mentor, ex-colleague, etc) is worth maintaining current connections with. Relationships of all kinds change because it takes work for two people to remain on the same page.
"We don't always get to keep everyone we encounter through our life course constantly, except within our memories."
You know, there's a blog you subcribed to a while back with some posts on stuff like this. And while the author is on seasonal haitus, you may or may not find stuff in there that's on this topic that's useful.
