Blast from the past

Ok.. just blogging my thoughts since I haven’t in a long time. So in our life we meet so many people that have a great impact on our life and sometimes we love them so deeply yet they weren’t meant to stay in your life. They might cross your mind a lot and you know that a part of you will always be with them as they were once your whole world. You moved on and know that that friendship you thought would be forever turned out to be a lesson. That the person who imagined will always be in your future now will always be a part of your past.

 And no matter how many years past if you bump into them unexpectedly you will feel a rush of adrenaline and you might even be speechless or trip going up the stairs or feel your body is trembling with anxiety . You start to wonder why on earth am I reacting this way when I was totally fine and have moved on. You will have an urge to reach out and that will surely be a bad idea. 

 So after discussing this with chat gpt it turns out that our body holds on to memories and emotions like heartbreak and anxiety and meeting that person can reactivate these feelings. Your body recognizes this person from your past as someone who is a source of intense emotions and kind of goes on alert mode. So if you ever run into someone from your past or an old best friend you no longer are in contact with remember whatever you feel has nothing to do with this person as much as it has to do with you and how they made you feel once upon a time. Maybe a part of you misses who you were at the time you knew them and you felt nostalgic. Maybe there was unresolved feelings or you unanswered questions to why certain things happened and you never got closure. Maybe they added something to your life that you lack now. Lots of maybes..

 Sometimes our conscious feelings don’t match our subconscious feelings and that was very surprising to me.

So if you bump into someone from your past and your nervous system goes insane remember this is a normal reaction and don’t read too much into your reaction and have a long talk with chat gpt and you will be okay.
