I recently reached out to an old GF from literally 25 yrs ago. I messaged her on FB and we exchanvged a few pleasantries. In the conversation she said that she was sorry how things ended and that she was worried that she hurt me. I assured her that it was all good, we were simply just kids I mean literally just kids. We had a few pleasant exchanges and she hoped that if I was ever in her town for me to look her up and I agreed.


It was the stuff of grown up mature adults, you know what I mean, it was just a nice exchange, it was a nice way to remember a fond time, a time in both of our pasts, back when we were just both children, practically.


I'm glad I reached out to her, it was nice, I told her that I no regrets about our time together and that we had a good time. It was just a different time then and we're both in hugely different places in our lives. She wished me the best and I her.....


I really feel good about that exchange.. made me feel like a grown up adult, to be able to just have a nice friendly conversation with someone from my past, and to know that she feels the same way about me.


That's how things should be... we shouldn't be hating on our past loves... we shouldn't be full of regret.. we should be happy that that person meant sometime to us, something in our past and something that adds value to our lives...............

The "blinking" Facebook cursor got me to thinking. I got me to thinking about my past, it got me to thinking about where I'm going.


The proverbial blinking cursor.........

Ahhhh...the human heart is never satisfied. Be careful with this one. In my experience, old flames burn vehemently and never fully die.

That been the gist of my previous exchanges mate also

And couldn't agree more that's exactly how it should be.....

Now I'm just looking forward to the " are you looking for an affair " or why didn't she block you " comments.... You know in real CD fashion mate lmao

Ps congrats and thank you for being an adult..... Hopefully it will catch on

sure, I don't dislike some of my exes. But the women that cheated on me can go F themselves. That's how I will always feel and I don't see it ever changing even on my death bed.

That was was so powerful about our interchange, was the lack of any agenda on either side. she was content and I'm content.


We were able to have a real and raw and completely honest exchange. I loved it... it was real. Real is missing in most dialog.


I've never been one for fake phony elevator/weather talk.

Intimacy & vulnerability is always a sated feeling. It doesn't matter the capacity. I'm glad you had the opportunity.
