For What It’s Worth by Dr. Melfi , Ph.D.
Afew months ago, I mentioned in my column that an old ame is better le in the past, for a myriad of reasons. I neglected to mention that at the top of the list is, we are no longer the same people we were ten, twenty, y years ago, and regardless of how much we believe nothing has changed, it has. e beauty of digging up an old boyfriend or girlfriend is that time is erased, memories come to the forefront of your life, and it is as if you have discovered the fountain of youth. Love, even puppy love, feels so exhilarating, and makes the humdrum days of work, responsibilities, packing lunch boxes and mopping oors, vanish. What replaces them is the possibility that love will ourish, feelings will emerge stronger than ever, and most of all, the calendar turns backward to good times, young love, raging hormones, and a million promises of things to come.
I, myself, spent a good amount of my time in high school writing my boyfriend’s name a thousand times in my notebooks, tattooing his name on my arm with an ink pen, and daydreaming of every word he uttered to me, replaying his voice over and over in my mind. Making eye contact with him was like a thousand shockwaves going through my body, and every decision I made, was with him in mind. Of course, life happens, high school comes to an end, and people move on their separate ways, but that love, rst love, never really leaves. It survives through other marriages, the birth of children, the purchase of a rst home, and everything else that comes along, but sometimes, some of us, the lucky ones, get a second chance. It is as if the universe has smiled down and bestowed one wonderful gi to cherish.
All that sounds perfect, but o en it is similar to trying to t a round peg in a square hole. It doesn’t really work, but if we really try, if we push, and pull and le down the edges, and grunt and groan, if we stomp on it, we can nally get it in the hole. But it doesn’t really t, you know it and I know it. e edges are scraped and rough, the hole has been reshaped to t something that no longer works, and once we nally realize we can never get those feelings back, it is the heartbreak of a lifetime. Spare yourself the agony, and keep your memories tied up in ribbons, hidden away in a bottom drawer, memories you can visit when you’re feeling low or lonely, but memories that should never be acted upon.
For What it’s Worth, if you don’t heed this advice, the reality of loss will be devastating.
