The Ghosts of Boyfriends Past

DatingBrian

One of the experiences I have been exploring is how to keep my prior self. How do I connect with my past while continuing to grow into my adult self.

So the universe gave me a gift. This week an old boyfriend – Jeffrey – and I connected. We dated 10 years ago while I was living in Santa Monica, California. Ghosts of boyfriends past.

Ghosts has such a negative connotation and the past has the feeling of one trying to grasp on to it.

In talking to Jeffrey, I got to relive who I used to be and who I am trying to realign to be. I used to be a lot of more carefree and bold. And for that conversation with my ex I am appreciative because it reminded me that you can always go back in some ways and aspire to be who you wanted to be.

Call it the art of living or the art of being.
