Rebuilding Rob

I saw this post on Instagram the other day and it got me thinking about people in my life like these. I like to think of them as followers.

Ro was very much like this – clearly not interested in more relationship-wise with me, but wanted to use me as “a shoulder to cry on”. I feel like she kept just enough distance between me and her to keep me “within arm’s reach”. After my last interaction with her, which I talked about on my post “It Comes in Threes“.

following that last incident, I deleted her phone number from my phone. I’m just done with her. In another time and another place, I would’ve taken her up on her offer in a heartbeat. but an appointment, my life where I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I know that I would always be a back up plan for her.

I guess you could say I decided to put the pedal to the floor and put some real distance between her and I once, and for all.
