Went out with Yuki this evening to Starbucks and a sushi place in Markham. It was fun to just chat and vent after many days of just holding in stress. During conversation, the topic of “letting go” sort of came up. It’s one thing to deal with rejection and to let those wounds heal. So why keep digging them open? For example, did I really need to read about how she’s finding that life is grand with her current flame? Blaaaaah. I’m as happy for her as I should be, yes? I was also talking about how there were also some people I haven’t spoken to in ages and was saying that any future chance encounters would simply be awkward. Truly.

Well, Yuki basically said that whatever happened in the past may have value, but all of that is firmly in the past. Why revisit it? The chapter is closed. If there are people I want to reconnect with, I’ll reach out. If there are others that want to reconnect with me, I’m very easily accessible (but it requires mild effort). It’s all complicated, isn’t it? Well, I’ve said it many times in this blog, but I haven’t done so lately: all I can do is live as best as I can in the present.
