If you are reading this, thank you. I need some place to vent. I'm sure many people have experienced this, but I recently found out my ex unblocked me from facebook. We broke up more than a year and a half ago and made me feel confused if she was peaking to see what has changed over this time period. It feels very strange looking back on past experiences as I remember very distinctly the condition I was in when she broke up with me. I was feeling unbelievably depressed and made her unhappy. We also had a terrible fight that was the last straw that broke the camel's back. I take full responsibility for my part in the break up.

 

It feels odd though looking back seeing how far I have come. I worked very hard during that time with school and because of this I was accepted to Harvard for an intern program which I just completed. I don't feel superior to anyone else because of this, but it has helped me gain a perspective of far I have come. While I have stumbled quite a few times, I feel I have adequately built my life back together without my ex. While I feel a slight bit of pain from someplace far away when I was reminded of her, I realized this was a fleeting feeling. Regardless of being accepted into an internship at Harvard, I feel proud of who I am. I feel proud because I care about friends and strangers. I feel proud because I know I have the strength to rebuild myself. I feel proud because I had the courage to try to better myself when I had no one supporting me in real life. I feel proud that I can look back on the situation and say it was a good ride while it lasted, but I would never want to go back to my past relationship. I feel proud that I am willing to take a risk on the future instead of looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses. I am proud that I am who I am. Thank you.

It's good to read a success story, it gives those on here who are in the throws of pain something to strive for.

Thank you for posting this, this forum is sorely lacking in these posts.

 

This is the sort of hope that people need to be looking for, not the hope of reconciliation. The hope of moving forward without the ex and moving on to bigger, better and greater things, the hope of being happy again on their own or with someone else, and the hope of just knowing that they can come out the other end of this turmoil a better and stronger person.
