Day 13 – The Question That Never Really Goes Away

10 Aug 2025

Have you ever had someone who drifts in and out of your life, yet never really leaves it?
No matter how many years pass, or what those years bring, somehow they find a way back in.

You don’t speak the truth of it — not fully. The feelings stay between the lines, unspoken but understood in small moments. Moments when you’re allowed to be there, to show up, to offer a quiet kind of care that doesn’t need words.

And yet, beneath that steady rhythm, there’s a question that won’t go away:
What does this connection truly mean?

Is it comfort, or is it habit?
Is it love, or just the memory of it?
Do we keep letting each other back in because we’re meant to, or because we don’t know how to close the door for good?

I don’t have the answers tonight. I just know that this connection has survived things most relationships can’t. And that alone is enough to keep me wondering.

But how do you decide when it’s time to finally figure it out — to lay all the cards on the table — or to finally walk away? How do you know when the wondering has run its course?

Some days aren’t for sorting it all out.
Some days are for sitting with the questions and letting the answers come in their own time.
Tonight is one of those days.
