<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Mid-twenties male and female, I'm the female, and I was broken up with. Relationship of a year and a half, with longstanding friendship prior.
I'm pretty sure I'm just over-complicating my own life at this point, but it's nice to get feedback.

We've been broken up for four months, half of which has been No Contact. In that time, I've re-established friendships, taken up new hobbies, and built up my self esteem considerably. Just in general, kept myself busy and occupied. I no longer feel like I "need" to have a partner, which is awesome. I'm the happiest I have been in half a year.

Our breakup wasn't over anything like infidelity, or wanting to see new people. Just that our relationship got too serious too fast. The breakup was difficult at first with both of us going back and forth on No Contact which set us both back. Every single time we have entered into No Contact, I have initiated it and I know he has struggled with it, and has contacted me to which I do not reply. The last we spoke, we both still had feelings for each other. Which leads to my question:

**I still have feelings for him, and I think if he's ready to, we could start something very light again in the near future. However, I worry that initiating any sort of contact will be interpreted as me not being serious about my own self-improvement, and that my own emotional stability isn't more important than keeping in touch with him.**

<bot>: After a relatively undramatic breakup, can you try again? How do you ask without ending up with egg on your face? Should I be leaving the ball in his court?
