I haven't been here in a while. It's been months since I used to come here daily to browse through threads reading about other people's experiences and sometimes sharing my own thoughts. I just wanted to share some of my thoughts again today.

 

I still think about my ex pretty much everyday. However, now that I think about it, I think I am getting over it. I am becoming stronger, and I am beginning to feel happier :).

 

I can't wait to go back to school and try to land another interesting job for next summer. I want to work my butt off for my last two years so that I can get an in course scholarship next year and a medal by the time I graduate. I just finished an internship at a software company where I was the first intern to start and finish a new application during the time I was there. I have learned to be more grateful for the things around me. I have started to redirect the love I used to share with my ex to my friends, family, and others. That part really adds some meaning to my life. One of the things I missed the most about my ex was the stupid little things that I used to do for her, like buy her flowers randomly. However, doing little things to please the other people around me has been quite fulfilling.

 

During the past 11 months, I've had a lot of help. I went to a counseling service offered by my school a couple of times, and my counselor saw me grow and get stronger with each session. I didn't feel any different, but on my last session, my counselor told me that she was really proud of me, and that made me happy. I have some good friends that I can rely on, and I did rely on them. They helped a lot too. My family was also there for me. In my time of need, they supported me, and now I feel closer to my family then I ever have been before. I really value that. During the past school year, I found solace in visiting a church that was nearby when it was empty. I'm not religious, but something about sitting there just to let life sink in and to think really helped me.

 

I'm not really sure what to say, but thank you for whoever took the time to read this. We will all make it through :). As Einstein once told his son, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

The more you would be engaged in thoughtful activities the better you will forget what happened.

Sorry - Einstein's son also went crazy and ended his life in a mental health institution.... just saying...lol

 

Assuming HS or maybe college given the timing of your post.....so just keep moving forward. People come in/out of your life all the time...all life long. Just keep meeting new people.
