Hi ZC,

This old friend represents a golden time of your life. You were young, single, free, and had options! You were the chosen one. He was your pining devotee. It felt great! I’ve been the worshipped goddess before. I’ve been there! I get it.

Then in your kindly beneficence, you set him loose.

But by then everyone had grown a little older, a little more long in the tooth, a little jaded, and he took you at your word. YOU had to go to HIM. Which was bad enough, but then you found out that no one is as busy as someone who isn’t interested in you.

Now that everyone’s in their thirties with kids, it’s SO EASY to be nostalgic over your past.

But (and I’ve been there too) if you ever manage to hook up again, you will quickly see that it wouldn’t be the same. What else would there be to talk about but the kids anyway?

Best,

Inky
