Recently I rekindled a friendship with an ex. We went to dinner had a drink, talked and laughed etc. Needless to say it was a great outing with an old friend of 5 years. But I noticed that everyone around me saw it as something different. As if he and I had participated in some sort of date. Now this got me thinking, can two people who once shared a romantic relationship be friends? Can they let go of those feelings in exchange for some more concrete? Or will one or both be stuck in the feelings of the past?
I think you can be friends with an ex. Matter of fact that's what we are friends. I believe that our romantic feelings have been long lost never to return. Now I do admit we have conversed about rekindling that fire, but it was more words that actions.
I never say never, but not every situation requires a secod chance.
Much love ad continue having deep thoughts and reflections.

1 + 1 does NOT! = the latest dance craze!
Good afternoon,
This is just a PSA. It's hard being a parent, and I cannot judge due to lack of children. But something has to said for your parenting skills when your child knows more about Gucci Mane and Souljah Boi Tell Em ( yes that is his entire stage name).
What ever happened to a good bedtime story? Or going to a museums? The excitement of learning something new; Something productive. It seems that kids these days are growing way to fast, and in doing so they are missing many fundamentals.
I applaud those that are continiously trying to focus their children on the greater good of knowledge, but there is still a large percentage that remains lost.
They know more about the new dance than mathematics. They know more about sex than they do writing and reading. And that is sad!
If I want to do some stupid dance I see on tv for entertainment (within reason) I can. Now you might find that hypocrtical, but let me explain. I am a student, I have a degree, I have a job, and the skills to move on. These kids do not.
Think on it. That's all I'm saying.
Much love and continue to have deep thoughts and reflections.
