She said she’d been thinking about me and wondered how I was doing. When I first saw her and she asked for my phone number I for a second didn’t think I could say no to her. For a second I fell into my old pattern. Fortunately I caught myself.
I know for a fact that the reemergence of Blossom means taking several steps backwards. It means beating my head against a brick wall. I just can’t do that. It’s been a very long and troubled year and a half since we broke up. Boy have things changed since then.
She wanted to see me. I said no. I told her that I can appreciate that she’s made changes but that it’s just not a good thing for us to associate with one another.
I like the fact that I could tell her no and not feel like a horrible person for doing so. I like that I could tell her I’m not willing to try again.
At this point we live in the same city. I’m going to run in to her again, that’s a given but it doesn’t mean we have to keep in contact. Civility is one thing, a friendship or relationship is yet another.
Today is a good day. I feel good about using my voice to tell her no.
It’s a good day.
