Heard from an ex of 18 years on messenger the other day. She was the only woman I ever fell in love with. It's funny, how the head can move on, but the heart didn't. I always knew it, but never realized it until she messaged me. It was a nice chat that brought back old memories for both of us. After me, she chose comfort and safety then grew to love the woman that has taken care of her all these years. Sadly she'll stay with her even though she hasn't been happy for many years. All I could tell her was to be true to herself. Her kids are grown with kids of their own and only she can decide how she wants to live the rest of her life. I told her, I will always chat with her anytime she needs an ear to bend. I'm just glad she finally stopped being angry with me. I never meant to hurt her. Back then, I just didn't know how to settle down and allow another to help me stop doubting my worth.
