This one is spawned by an interesting scenario that happened to me last week. There was a person who I had a crush on many years ago, despite only having met them once or twice, and really only in passing. Every time I would pass the live music venue I met them at, they would pop into my mind, even years after that place had closed and changed hands how many times.
Over the years the thoughts were mostly “damn I hope they’re doing okay”, or “I hope I can meet them again, but how the hell can I do this without sounding creepy? Well, I could never have predicted that we’d trip over each other on a socialization/dating app. As soon as I saw their name I knew it had to be them. Double checked a few historical facts, and sure as all – it was them.
It sounds wild, like something out of a TV show or movie, but it happened to me, and it’s been nothing but good things so far. Some people may say it’s … “fate” … Just remember, though, the past is fixed, the future is fluid. Nothing except the past is stuck the way it is, and sometimes, “all things work together for good” (as quoted from the show Manifest, yes). If you have an urge to do something or say something to someone, as long as you’re being honest with yourself and them, and not being disrespectful or otherwise negative, just do it. You’ll never know what you’ll change.
