It means you're human & care for those you know.
A week or two back I was talking to an older friend about a lady I was close to for around 6 months 2018/19. It had been a long time since either of us had seen her & we were both aware that she'd gone
through some difficulties with a relationship she had after our parting. It hadn't gone too well for her, too
much fighting with new guy, ending with the Police. I was naturally concerned that she was embarrassed &
had gone full on hermit. I decided that after such a long time I'd reach out & call her. It was worth it, not
that I met her after or since. Though I know it made her feel better about herself & what had happened
between us for us to go our separate ways. We both felt better for the chat.
Sometimes it's important to have such thoughts & sometimes not, though in the end only you can decide
the value of such thoughts & what you do with them. Just try not to fixate on the person if you find yourself
always thinking of them as that can be somewhat unhealthy if you were once close.
