Season of Giving... Back?
We can’t take back feelings, experiences or time. This is a huge reason why I answered this week's question on if, after a breakup, is wanting to take back sentimental gifts you gave your partner petty, yes. We ask for these sentimental things back because we feel as though that’s the one thing we have control over. I chose to give that to you, and now with new feelings, I choose to take it back. It sounds hurt, it probably is hurt, and going to go pick up some old memories won’t make it better, I promise. We give someone gifts based on how we feel about them in that moment. Changed feelings can’t change already-made decisions and that’s okay. Don’t let someone make you ashamed of how you chose to love or take you out of character because you want them to hurt too. The best move is to move on. Happy Holidays!
