Fmrbrknhrt22 Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Hey guys, I used to go on these forums quite a bit about a year ago. It had been about 6 months since I ended things with my ex whom I dated for a year and a half. I was 20 and my confidence was at about 0. I dumped her and she got involved with another guy quickly after we ended it and I was crushed. She would pull at my heart strings from time to time and it was tough. I was weak. Now 2 years have passed and things have changed. We've both grown and matured quite a bit, me 22 and her 19. I discovered these forums and it helped me put things in perspective. It made me feel compassion and empathy for other peoples misery over a lost love. It made a lonely and empty heart feel that he had one listening ear besides his own parents and few friends to lean on. There are some really good people on here and its refreshing to see people tell it like it is. Anyways I ran into the ex today at my job and hadnt seen her in a while. At first my heart jumped, but then I realized that I could handle this when in days past I wouldve probably broken down in tears or try to quickly end the convo. Weve both moved on with our lives and were both going different directions, me going off to south america in a few months to study spanish while she is off to the northeast for college. Talking to her in a calm and relaxed manner, it made me realize how far ive come from all the difficult nights of my heart being broken from her past actions. But now things are the way they are, its time to move on and live life. I found a quote today on happiness that went a little something like this, "Happiness is a butterfly. If you try and catch it, the butterfly will easily fly away, but if you focus on other things, one day it will plop gently on your shoulder without you even noticing." I realized that this is the way I've tried to live my life for the past year and loveshack was a big part of what aided my change in lifestyle. I've had my dark days and nights of course, but I've come to terms with myself and her actions and realized that there are new opportunities to take advantage of and that a beautiful life can be lived and fulfilled without her having to be the missing puzzle piece. Best of wishes to you all and merry xmas-Chris
