Missing You Doesn't Mean I Want You Back

Raw Chapter No. 012

I used to think that if I missed someone that meant there was more to come.

Thinking of them, remembering good times or asking myself what they may be up to...I wasn't over them yet.

Now I know that you can miss someone and not want them in your life.

You can miss the person they used to be.

You can miss the person you used to be.

Or you can just miss someone who at one point felt like home.

Memories are tricky because we tend to only think about the good times.

We never remember all of the let downs.

Or how disconnected we became at some point.

Its easy to fall back into wanting to open that door back up when you're missing someone. But you can still remember someone and not want them in your life.

You can wish them the best and probably always have that piece of you that loves them and know that your relationship has come to an end.

Moving on isn't always about being numb to someone.

Its learning that you can have feelings and not let them dictate what you do.

Missing someone is a feeling. Wanting them back is a choice.

Those are not always the same thing.
