Genuineness matters. If the person truly reflects on what went wrong and comes back with honesty and growth maybe they deserve that second chance. Sometimes timing messes things up and whether it’s love or friendship, it just needs a different season to bloom. Sometimes love doesn’t work the first time because the timing is bad but later it can grow better. But if your gut says they’re here for convenience, attention or just boredom, cut it off. Let them strive for it, prove it because actions speak louder than words. You are not a backup plan. You’re a destination. You’re the goal. Listen to your gut, it usually knows the truth before your mind does.
