This past weekend I ended up in a room with someone who at one time was a close friend. We haven't been close friends in a long time because of a falling out. I won't go into the details of the falling out here though maybe someday I will. We actually barely spoke for nearly for nearly 2 years and even in the last year, real conversations are rare.
But I had overheard them talking about something important in their life and I was curious to know more of the details. So when we were in the same room, I decided to ask what exactly was going on. They told me some good news that I was happy to hear and we had a nice, if still brief, chat.
It wasn't until later that it dawned on me: after all of the bad feelings if this somehow ended up being our last interaction then at least it was a positive one. Closure has been a big theme in my life lately and to achieve a sense of it with someone that had been the source of a lot of turmoil in my life is a good feeling.
Most likely, this won't be the last time we speak to each other so I can only hope that moment can be the beginning of a turn for the better for the both of us. But no matter what the future holds I can safely say that I have no bad feelings left and that is a huge weight off of my soul.
