I keep trying to put time limits on myself- like: just wait a week before trying to contact him in another way; I'm just so ridiculously manic right now. I'm trying not to be nuts; I swear.That might also be procrastination driven by fear. Each of us is different, but for me the biggest regret would be not taking that step and not getting some kind of closure. Things won't always end well, but they may never end at all if we don't give it a shot. The phrase "the only real failure is the failure to try" may seem hokey, but I've lived life both ways and I'd never go back to the timid approach.
Find him, get in touch with him. Be determined to live and enjoy life no matter how it turns out. You can do it, Becca.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
