I didn’t think turning 28 would make me feel different in any way. But the more I reflect on the past year, I can’t help but to realize that maybe I have changed.

I was driving down fletcher avenue on my birthday and little red corvette came on the radio. Of course I thought of you and even though I’ve been single for almost 2 ½ years now, I was still flooded with questions of what would have happened if things had played out differently between us.

But the more I thought about it, the more I didn’t want to. I finally realized that people will always come and go from our lives. We can’t keep people from hurting us or leaving us or staying with us, but we can choose to focus on the positive moments.

So instead, I decided to remember getting coffee with you at that weird little cafe. The one where the plant was in your face. And in that moment, I suddenly felt at ease.
