| FIRST OF ALL, this entry is all my rambling and venting about whats been happening in my relationship, so if you dont give a crap, i suggest you wonder off to someone else's xanga site. :) thanks. -------------------- ive finally stopped crying for you. its been a long 6 days. every minute felt like an year.....seriously. everytime i break up with a boyfriend theres always those couple of days of devastation that follow it, i know. but for some reason....this time it was different. i actually went to my room and cleaned EVERYTHING that reminded me of you. and i usually dont do this. i keep everything that has memories in my room, even if i have moved on. but just looking at the jacket you left behind, the huuuuuge picture frame you made me, the magic cards and the extra change you left really hurt. ive been feeling miserable and so lost, that i just didnt know what to do with myself. i didnt know why this happend in the first place. i didnt know how i was supposed to deal with it. and i didnt know what to do from now on. how am i supposed to spend mondays i took work off to spend time with you?? who am i supposed to drive to school and eat lunch with during class times?? what am i supposed to do to be okay.... as the time went on, i felt myself becoming more and more aggravated at the fact that this happend so suddenly. why isnt he callling to see if im okay? why did he do it over the phone? why is he such a cold person, acting like everything is okay when a couple weeks ago he told me how much he loved me? i was very confused, and very annoyed. no matter how positively i tried to think, i started noticing a bitterness for you, and as it grew stronger, i found it easier to deal with. everything was your fault, not mine, you let go of everything, and ill just simply think of you as an asshole from now on. that was my mindset. after talking to my 3 best friends though, my whole perspective about our relationship, and myself, changed. i was just laying in bed crying...again, until i got a phone call that lasted almost 3 hours. and to make a long story short, this is what i learned. that the reason the relationship ended was because you were so tired. so tired of the way i acted, the things i said, the things i didnt say, the things i didnt do, the fights we had, the fights we didnt have.....everything. and for some odd reason i didnt see any of this. i really dont know why. is it because i was too confident that you would never leave me since you always told me and made sure i knew that you would never fall for another girl? which is really ironic because im probably the most insecure girl ever. but anyways! i learned that, first of all, we are both too young and narrow minded to be able to appreciate each other fully. before we learn to find who we belong with, we need to find the person we are, and obviously both you and i are still confused about that. we cant juggle two people at the same time....we have to find out who we are first, and then the other person. second, i learned that i was changing my ways in all the different places, and then felt like i wasnt getting enough credit for it. so kind of like miscommunication. but now, i clearly understand what went wrong, and if you ever gave me another chance, i would take it, and make everything right. but i know life isnt that easy, and im not expecting it to be. and third, the trust issue. i thought throughout our whole relationship i trusted you with all my heart. just because i knew what kind of person you are and the way you think, and the things you do. i knew you would never lie or cheat. but for some reason....a part of me didnt trust you at all. i happen to be a very jealous person, and i am TOTALLY insecure. i know. at times it seems as if i even have low self esteem and self confidence. :/ but the only thing i can do about this is change it. i realized that non of my relationships would ever last if i stay this way. i shouldve known you so much better....i just couldnt show it the way it was supposed to be shown. and as james mentioned, i swore to god that i would change for you and make it work, when it hasnt even been a week. im not ready to get back with you, IF you did ever give me a chance. i need time to calm down and see what i really want, and to prove that i can change for you. this really made me see things from a bigger picture, and helped me cool off a little bit. there isnt anything i can do to change your mind right now, but in a couple of months, that might not be the case. i really have to spend some time alone and think about it carefully. i know now. so now i see this experience in a very positive form. i know some people out there would use the opportunity of being single as free ticket for them to fuck around with other guys and not get in trouble for it. sure, thats an idea. or, some people might get super depressed and show their ex how desperately in need they are of them, stop eating (or eat tooo much), and cry everyday and stay miserable. although not as appealing....still an idea. but i decided that i would use this experience in a different way. ive had breakups where i just wanted to look prettier and get back at them, and make them regret what theyve lost. but in this case, i dont. i honestly dont really care how i look in a couple months, but how i hold and present myself. i want to look okay and confident. i want to seem as though life is going perfectly well for me and that nothing could bring me down. i want to stay as optimistic as i can be. i want to take this as an opportunity to meet new people, make new friends, reconnect with old ones, get in shape, work, etc. and i also want to be able to prepare myself for two things in the future. either get back with you, or move on. i want to be okay with either decision, and although it isnt going to be a piece of cake, im willing to try as best as i can for you. im really glad i saw you the night we ended things. the way you were so cold and the way you showed no emotion towards me whatsoever. it helped me realize that yeah, i can actually lose someone i really love and care about, and that in order to become a better person and understand the importance of things and people, you gotta get bitch slapped once. i dont know if ill ever be with you again, no matter how much i want to, but i really want to thank you for everything, and everything this break up taught me. if not for you, ill become a better person for my next boyfriend, and myself as well. thank you for the wonderful 2 years. Erick, Victoria, Katleen, James i love you all <333 |
