I bring this up in the context of a long list friend from high school who messaged me out of the blue and just as suddenly stopped talking to me again.
I had purposely tried to forget about and not think about the people that were over my best friends, but then due to time, mistakes or no reason at all, faded out of sight.
If I sat and thought about them, I would say that I love them inasmuch as anyone would say I'm capable of, which is probably up for debate. And I do probably miss them in the same kind of way that we miss listening to one hit 80's bands whose names were long forgotten. But I don't think about it, I don't dwell, because why and to what end?
More often than not, just thinking about things does not change them and why try to reconnect, when it's probably only temporary and will leave me feeling worse, sad and depressed when we stop again. It's not like we're going to become integral parts of each other's lives again. So I ask again, why and for what?
