heartoutside Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I can safely say that the more you let your break up control your life, the more you will suffer and stay stuck in that line of thought. People who've been on LS for some time I'm sure know my story...And right now, I think I'm in the best place I've been in my life in terms of attitude of life and my personal self worth (despite being flat broke and in debt! ). All because of my ex walked all over my heart twice! I've realized weeks ago, that it's real easy to get caught up in the sad and hurt feelings that follow a break up, and just let them suck you in. But I also realized, life is so much better when you're enjoying it! Have fun, do something crazy..... For a few weeks now I've been working up to asking a new girl out. I haven't had to ask a girl out in almost 10 years (they've always asked me out!) so this was totally new ground for me. Twice, I've had the perfect chance to ask her out, and twice I totally chickened out. Until yesterday! I started to think about what I may be missing if I never asked her out, or if I just let it be and wait....So I asked her out....and I got a "Yes!!!!!!" So what I'm saying is, it's cool to wallow in the sadness and grief for a little while, but there has to come a point in your life where you realize that you're missing out on so much more, so much enjoyment. It's been a year since we broke up, and about 6 months since we got back together and broke up again....and I can safely say life is easier when you're laughing and smiling and enjoying it. And there is no way you should let someone take that away from you! Enjoy

I am still wallowing, though not as much as a few weeks ago. I hope to be back to my old self asap. I will just let it run it's course. I don't know if it does any good to pretend to be happy, I want to be happy and mean it. Right now I am not happy. Life will be better, it will happen when it happens.
