Home for Thanksgiving Break!

Nov 22, 2006 08:22

Finally, Thanksgiving Break is here! I've been needing a break from Frostburg for quite some time now. Even the smallest things would get on my last nerves, but could never express my feelings towards them. Yes- I do miss my sorority sisters, but the rest of this week is going to be a time for family, friends here at home, and just 'me' time alone ( Read more... )

Hey man, look:

1) It's possible for something to be truly there for you, and not truly there for the other person. Everyone goes through it. Sometimes it doesn't make sense. Just because you think it was true love, doesn't mean they ever thought that, even if they told you otherwise. Or sometimes they do mean it while you're telling you that, but then it changes for them. That doesn't make it suck less for you. It's a harsh fact of life and relationships.

2) Sometimes you do find out that you were just a number, when you thought you were more. It sucks really bad. It's another thing that absolutely everyone experiences. Even the person who hurt you probably was on the other end of it at some point, or will be at some point down the road.

3) You don't just wake up one day and be over it. You have to actively take the steps to move past it. One of the first steps of this process includes recognizing it for what it was: A situation where you wanted something serious, and they didn't. A situation where the person was not who you thought they were. A situation where you got hurt, and a situation where they are never going to decide they were wrong and come crawling back to you.

4) The rule is, you get half the length of the relationship to mourn. If you dated 4 months, you get 2 months to mope about like a lovesick puppy, and all your friends commiserate and watch girly movies and eat junk food with you. After that, your friends still want to be supportive, but they want to be supporting you as you move past the situation, not as you keep yourself stuck in it.

5) Most crushes don't work out. Every once in a great while, one of them does. You could be onto something about chilling out for a while and letting somebody else make the first move. It's amazing what happens when you let yourself just enjoy life, and let relationships develop naturally instead of trying to rush the issue.

I hope you have a great week at home with your family, and a good Thanksgiving. But seriously, it's been a long time. I'd like to see you start getting over it so you can be optimistic about relationships that might be waiting for you in the future, instead of constantly trying to return to a relationship that is in the past and is never coming back.
