Deep dives

Delusion of the 'One that Got Away'

Walking around thinking about someone as the one that got away, but that person chose not to be with us, is a kind of delusion. When someone chooses not to make a relationship work, it is often because they don't feel the same way about it as we do. Understanding that their choice is a reflection of their feelings towards the relationship can help us separate and move on, even though it may still be painful.
