During the holidays, there seems to be this sort of magnifying glass of ones life. People start to miss those who once meant a lot to them, and they want to bring them back into their lives. I think its a bit of the nostalgia coupled with some rose colored glasses looking at the past. I've had former....friends, boyfriends contact me during the holidays, but in the end it never works out because the old reasons for departing end up rearing their ugly heads again at some point.
