A Sucker for Second Chances


Getting back together with an ex is not easy to explain specially if you have traveled that road before. Friends used to offer advice now they just find themselves out of words. They either keep silent and just offer a "well that's good." The more sarcastic ones say " you know where that road leads." The truth is no, I don't know. As no one knows where life would lead them to. I can only guide my decisions with how I feel. All my body screams "this feels good this time, he feels different and I know I am." A friend that falls into the sarcastic category told me, "You've said that to me every time you've gone back with him." Maybe she is right because every time we were indeed different, second chances come disguised as wonderful opportunities to redeem or fix our wrong decisions. You can see it her way or mine, it all depends on how your instincts perceive it. If you let the cynic in you step in, your mind will make sure to find old insecurities and fears and line them up one by one to recreate what proved to be the demise of the relationship.

It's like going back to basics except this time I want to give second chances a real shot and even though I don't expect people to understand right away, I am looking forward to seeing them understand it eventually.
