I'm on cloud nine!

My oldest EP/SW friends will remember the name Alex or Alexandra from my past. She was my very first girlfriend who I saw on and off from the end of senior year in high school (2013) to the end of sophomore (second) year at university (2015).

I was head over heels in love and thought I'd met my forever person. But things happened and we went our separate ways. It wasn't a bad breakup at all and we've remained friends... haven't seen each other a ton, but we've stayed in touch.

Anyway, I'm on leave this weekend and home with Mom & Dad. I visited my old taekwondo studio, my undergrad university, had dinner last night with my best friend since kindergarten... And tonight I had dinner with Alex.

I had dinner with Alex!

Omg. And I know my SWeeps from back then (you guys know who you are) are gonna tell me to run for the hills... I get it... I cried on your collective shoulders a lot. But people change.

Anyway, nothing happened tonight specifically... Except we agreed to stay closer and to connect when we can over the next few months until I return to the Cape for good. And maybe a little hand holding. 😁

In all likelihood, nothing will come of this one dinner... but I floated all the way home tonight and I hope she felt something as well. 😍

Just felt like telling someone!!!
❤️

OK, so you know exactly what I want to say............well, maybe not EXACTLY.

Not "run for the hills", just be bloody careful. Regardless, I'm genuinely happy for you🥰

@room101 I hear you Roomie... And I get it. I've been burned on this road more than once. I had lots of time to think on the way back to Washington this morning.

I can't deny that I had a great time last night. And feeling her hand in mine again, and our goodnight hug that lasted ten minutes...

It's like there's this road that curves along the shore with mountains in the distance and rainbows over head... You just have to explore it further even though you know someone has laid out IEDs along the way. 🤦‍♀️
@sarabee1995 heart ied’s. ugh.

@JustGoneNow Yup ... the two years I dated Alex were tumultuous to say the least. And my friend @room101 here is one of my very dear friends from back then upon whose shoulder I often cried. So I know he would advise I stop, turn around, and run without looking back. 😒
@sarabee1995 I just support you. I advise caution, but I just love you and ultimately want you happy. 🖤🤗

@sarabee1995 I'm not saying that you should run for the hills, just be careful. I know how much the "simple" gesture of holding hands with Alex meant to you. And yeah, I've been on that curving road with promises of what may lay ahead myself. BUT, life has taught me to look carefully at that road and be aware of the potholes (or heart IED's) that may very well be there.

That's all I'm saying Sara, just be careful 🥰

@room101 Thanks Roomie... But I don't know what "just be careful" means?

When you are standing at that open door looking at 10,000 feet of air, how do you just be careful? At some point you have to let go and take the leap.


@sarabee1995 braver than me… in some ways, at least. I guess we all have our courage. 🖤🤗

@sarabee1995 I told DH that too. And meant it 100%

@sarabee1995 I guess, in this context, it means being sure that your parachute is working and secularly strapped to you. It also means being prepared to pull the cord in plenty of time for it to work🤷‍♂️

@room101 Bloody spellcheck. Secularly????? WTH! SECURELY. SECURELY!!!!!
sarabee1995 · 26-30, FVIP
@room101 My parachute is always in working order. As for pulling the cord in time ... well, that's another matter entirely. 🤷‍♀️
