smk Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 So I was going through some of my old posts and came across something that I had written that I wanted to share with all the newbies here... I hope that this makes you feel a little better because remember things always do get better... "This is for everyone considering making that one last “great stand”, for everyone wanting to have that one last conversation in the hope of getting their loved one back, for everyone who knows what it feels like to wake up day in, day out and think of nothing but the one person you love, for those of us that feel like we are in the deepest , darkest depths of hell... Do you really want to make a truly great one last stand? Do you really want your ex to see you and think that of what it is that THEY lost by leaving??? Go and look in the mirror!!! What do you see??? What did I see in the mirror when I looked at myself, I saw someone that not even I would consider going back to, I saw a 26 yr old so broken that it almost made me sick, but I also saw a 26 year old who could either better himself for the rest of his lifetime or choose to wallow in his own misery. My ex didn’t fall in love with a weak willed 26 yr old who couldn’t be asked to shave for 3 days, one who reeked of stale alcohol, one who looked like a ghost, one who had no confidence in himself, one who was afraid of loving or living for that matter, one who was afraid to let go of the pain – no my friends, she fell in love with a 26 year old who pursued life with a passion, one who woke up each morning and said to life throw me your best shot and I will hit out of this park, one who lived each moment to its fullest, one who had a passion for living. Then I thought about the 2 different people, would someone want to be with the weak me or the strong me? And i will leave it up to you to guess which me I chose. So are you sure you want to make that last stand? Make a stand for YOU, make a stand to get up each morning and even if you really don’t want to, make a stand to look in the mirror and to picture your former self, the one that your ex loved, and think about what YOU can learn from this break up? Think about how YOU don’t need your ex in your life, but how YOU would like your ex or someone even better than you ex in YOUR life. Its YOUR life and only YOU can choose to be happy or to be sad, experiences and people will influence this, but only YOU will decide how long to stay in that frame of mind – do YOU want to be perpetually unhappy or do YOU want to wake up each morning and grab life by the balls and live each day to the fullest? Or do YOU want to make excuses to get out of bed each morning. The choice is only YOURS to make – we all have it within us, I read some interesting posts today, and it took a very provoking post directed to me to get me to finally get my a$$ outta bed and do something about how I was feeling, and yes I am human, I don’t know if tomorrow i will fall back down, but if I do then I am going to pick myself up again and keep moving because thats life, the world does not stop revolving each time we fall, and we have to keep moving with it... Make that great stand, make that great gesture, do it all, but do it for YOU and not for anyone else, and if your ex comes back great, if he/she doesn’t then hey you had a great time with them and there will be other like them who will come into your life.... Be strong and have the faith to heal within yourself – the world can kick us down as many times as it wants but you know what by picking yourself up and moving on you become stronger than the world – you tell the world to go f@#k itself – because no one or nothing is going to keep you down... Life is for living, and each moment we spend not doing that is another moment wasted in not being happy..."
january2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Another great post. Go and look in the mirror!!! What do you see??? What did I see in the mirror when I looked at myself, I saw someone that not even I would consider going back to I'd like to add that before looking in the mirror, I put on the hot dress and heels. Rather than choose to see someone who the ex wouldn't going back to. I choose to see someone who wouldn't go back to the ex.

davisc123 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Great post. Very inspirational, and I agree 100% with the sentiment. Heartbreak can send you to the depths of despair, but you can't throw your life away because of it. Do yourself justice. 'It's not about falling down, it's how you pick yourself up off the ground'.
