Just because someone says they miss you, doesn’t mean you should allow them back in your life. Many times the “missing” is regret, or disappointment, shame, embarrassment, fear of losing or not getting something they want. While to us, it sounds like appreciation of our value, to them it’s simply value as in a means to an end. Everything in life, including life itself is temporary. While pain may surround the loss of a loved one, or relationship that has given you a sense of purpose, that purpose may have served its need by now, hence the loss. Let go. LET go. LET GO. The only way to truly appreciate what you had is to accept that it’s no longer there for you to hold onto. Start appreciating the things you have, because one day, they will be gone too.
