No one likes crawling back. But I
get it. It’s in those funny times where the first person you want to call is
someone you shouldn’t be calling anymore. You get excited to share the good times - remember
the good times? And sometimes it’s too close. You’re too close to forgetting
all the bad times and the reasons you’re apart and you want to get pulled back.
The nerd in me wants to think of
root-cause analyses. If you haven’t figured out the original problem, don’t
even bother with any other fixes. Because as sad as it feels to be alone, and
as sad as it is to think this… there’s a reason. You didn’t fit. Something didn't work. It went past being an argument you couldn't resolve, to the point where someone didn't think it was worthy of saving. And maybe that someone wasn't you. You weren't the one to leave first and I'm sorry if that's ever happened.
So suck it up. Have some pride. Going back to someone just because it's easy, even though it's not as good as you'd wish it to be, is the saddest part. Get out. Make friends. Learn to laugh out loud at yourself, alone in a room. Because there's someone out there who can always cheer you up, no matter how sad you are.
