Back to Ex - Yay or Nay?

S writing. It’s nice to be back :)

Reflecting on how rare I write for this blog, I admit my nickname suits me ONLY in this area.

This time, I want to share about one recent, interesting occurrence that got me thinking about many different things.

I met with my ex BF after 7 years. Oh yes, I did :)

In short, it was on my birthday that he sent me a message wishing me a happy birthday. He was asking my whereabouts (I am currently living in Bali), and it happened that he was on holiday with his family here. He asked me out and I said yes.

At first I was not so sure – should I really go and see him? I’ve heard people said that there is no use to meet our ex, it will not bring us any good, and moreover, there is a saying that people who stay friends with their ex(es) are psychopaths – google it, there are research about it. Besides, it will be soooo awkward. You know, meeting someone you once loved in a different condition can be disastrous – it may result in disagreements, relationship that has gone cold, uncomfortable feelings to see how much he/she has changed, or…

Sparking out an old love. Wait – is this a disaster?

I can’t really say the last one happened to me, although there is a possibility for it. Meeting my ex turned out to be an interesting experience. I decided to see him because I wondered – how would it feel to see him again? What would my responses be? What would be his? How much changes had happened in both of us in these 7 years? Am I still having “a thing” for him, or have I completely moved on?

Agree? Disagree?
What if the book is in series - same characters going through changes and maybe, just maybe, the chances to be together are still there?
