Dear readers,
My "Sirius" - the person from who I draw real-life inspiration to inform the emotional undercurrent of much of my writing - has this morning messaged me completely out of the blue on a defunct social media profile that I have not used for many years.
We have been out of contact for over ten years.
The last conversation I had with them I confessed I had been in love with them for a long time and that I couldn't deal with the toxic push and pull that had existed between us since we met when we were 16.
I have not spoken to them since...
Their message reads "I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I miss you. I'm hoping we can connect and be friends again."
