Why do you sometimes miss people you know you are better off without? Why does your mind remember the good moments while conveniently forgetting the reasons you had to leave? In Genesis 19, as Lot and his family were escaping Sodom, Lot's wife looked back despite being warned not to. She was physically leaving a place that was about to be destroyed, but her heart appeared to remain attached to what she was leaving behind.
Her story offers a powerful reflection on attachment, nostalgia and the difficulty of letting go. Sometimes, we miss people not because they were good for us, but because they were familiar. We remember their affection, conversations and happy moments while overlooking the pain, disrespect or unhealthy patterns that came with the relationship. Missing someone does not automatically mean you should return to them.
Sometimes, you are grieving the memories, the version of that person you hoped they would become, or the future you imagined together.
