Here’s the thing about life:

it goes by much too fast. It goes on all of the time. Even when you don’t. Or, don’t feel like you are. It’ll always be there for you in one way or another when you decide to move again, but it will not wait.

The other thing, is we are defined by the people we keep. Life can be either better or worse or neutral because of who we choose to surround ourselves with. But one way or another, even an introvert will be stimulated by an intimate connection. Even they (we) need that. If we are left to define ourselves it is likely going to turn out badly after years of insecurity.

The other thing, is because life is always moving you might think you don’t have time for that person. You might tell them to go away. Or to wait in not so many words. But if now isn’t the right time, when will it be? Life is busy and complicated. That’ll never change. People will, well, not inherently, but their tolerance level. And they might not wait. If you want someone to wait, it is best to make little sacrifices while they are waiting. Call them. Check in. Reassure them you are still there. They may still not wait, but your chances are better. Your chances are better of a happy reunion if you do this checking in.
