Hi Mary! Your posts are always full of some interesting insight, whether artful, or in this case, ruminating. Thanks to @wesphilbin for pointing out this specific one... and I am wondering: could it be that, when coming back to this town, your soul was yearning for the comfort of a past that you knew? The prospect of change is scary, and the town brought back memories of a time when things were stable and made sense, including when you were with this person. Is it possible that you don't necessarily miss the individual, but the circumstances surrounding being with them?

Of course, this is all a bunch of psychobabble, which I'm hoping could break your mind away from the magnet to which it's stuck. In either case, far more importantly...

You had the guts to pursue your own way in life yet again. Many people regret not at least attempting to do so, but you'll honestly be able to look back on your life and not have this great regret. That truly is a powerful concept. And of course, if at any point during this transitional process, you need help through a kind word, that's absolutely ok, and feel free to reach out to me for the support. We rely on each other to grow - we're programmed that way! And yes, you are very much worth it. 😊
