Let's say you are interested in someone, but life throws you a curveball and you get a twisted knee or broken bone. Will you still think about that person you're interested in? Would you reach out to them and let them know what's going on at least? Especially if three other person had said they wanted to meet up a certain day?
I'm trying not to catastrophize, but ever fiber in my body is telling me that while we all experience pain differently and yes, sometimes people just need to take a step back, someone that mattered to me wouldn't be so forgotten about.
