while i was in LA i met up with someone who i used to date, who was a tremendously important part of my life, and who i had sort of blocked out due to the trauma around how we actually broke up. apparently she had had the same experience and both of us just felt all of the feelings we had for each other and the memories of the good times we shared rushing back to us as we talked. it was such a cathartic and healing experience. and to know that we can still care about each other and love each other and be friends has brought me peace in a part of my soul i did not really even realize was hurting
