Owz600 Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 It's day 4 after breaking up with my girlfriend of 3 years. Yes it still hurts, Yes I still Cry, Yes I think about her and would could have been and Yes I still hope we will get back together. But Nc is actually giving me time to clear my head out, thoughts on my career are becoming way more clear. Within the past 2 days I have such drive within myself I thought I would never find again, I feel like I am finding the old me. I am focused on getting myself on a career path and being happy. Currently I work at a customer service job with food and trust me there the worst kind, I am unhappy at where I work and it is not challenging. For the past 2 years I have procrastinated about what to do, weather I would go to University and what I would study. Well I have decided I am applying for a job within a Tv Station and I am going to climb the ladder, I realised that education wise I am not interested and would not be keen to do essays, so I ruled University out. I am applying for a part time fire fighter also, this will be tough to get into as there is plenty of competition and there are job cuts happening but it's what I have wanted to do since I was a kid but it got lost in the back of my mind. I am actually starting to remember the chatty, funny guy I was once was, I am healing and will be myself again. Happiness is the one thing I care about in life, you have One Life don't waste it being unhappy.
Leandro Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 This is what NC is for! Not to get an ex back, but to get YOU back!! To open your eye to see the bigger picture. That's good about the career change, but your sure about no school? But I'm glad that you're doing well.
PowerOfOne Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Great stuff! You'll find that the moving on process is so much easier when you have some new goals in mind. I did the same thing, I scored my dream job within days of being dumped and it was such a relief to have something else that I could focus on. Within a few weeks they took me off the short term contract I was on and made me permanent. I'm a huge advocate of NC. It got her off my mind so I could focus on things that will actually be productive to my life. Didn't have to spend hours breaking down a three word text and the best "stratergy" to respond. It gives you all the power back that you initally think you've lost!
