IT'S PAST TENSE

Maybe we aren't supposed to go back. 

Back to that city. 

Back to that family member (s).

Back to that friendship.

Back to that relationship.  

Why do I say that?

Because . . . 

If the moment you try to change it or welcome a new moment into the mix . . . you start to feel sad - Intensely upset or like you made another bad life decision! They're still not hearing you, truly understanding why they've made... or rather, you've allowed yourself to feel this way! again!

then, 

m   a   y   b   e 

the right decision was the first one

not the one you'd hoped for

not the result you wanted

nor 'the happy ending, running off in the sunset together' . . . 

telling yourself 

"this time will be different."

I've evolved. They've evolved. 

Things are surprisingly good right now . . . 

Exactly! 

That was "right now" . . . that lovey-dovey, "I haven't seen you in over a year, I missed you" moments. 

And we all know that moments are fleeting. Moments are just that . . . #moments 

As in. . . we had a moment. past tense. 

It's never "we're havING a great moment." Because when you're in it, you're in it. You're in the present.

The next day or within a few hours . . . 

you remember the moment you haD. past tense. 

So what am I trying to say?

What am I actually saying?

Answer these questions for me . . . 

Did you ever go back?

to that relationship?

to that friendship? 

to that city? 

And if so, what happenED?!?!

past tense.
