In the beginning, things were great: I was finally in a relationship with a wonderful person who I could see myself being with for the rest of my life.

they say: "out of sight, out of mind".

i know it might sound rather cliche'd, but time will heal you. i'm a self-proclaimed expert at this, having been on both the receiving and giving end of this. I've been in your shoes before, giving my whole life into a four year relationship, draining me, and constantly thought that the hardest thing would be letting her go. But as it turned out, it was really quite liberating.

The best thing you can do right now is to stay busy, return your energy and efforts into self improvement, such as exercising, reading or working. You'll become a better person because of it, and you'll soon catch someone's eye who will dote on YOU for a change :).

Keep your head up homie :)

yea, i understand the whole time thing, i just wish it didn't take so much...time. i've got too much free time on my hands these days, and it gives my imagination too many opportunities to kill me over and over again. the liberation of being single again is nice, but i'd gladly trade it in for another shot at happiness with someone else...and desire or force of habit always bring my mind back to her...

workin on that self-improvement: if i lose 3 lbs by halloween (i've lost 7 since the beginning of october) then both of my roommates will owe me $25 a piece. i need to find more social hobbies outside of cooking and the gym, gotta try and immerse myself in other people...
