Breakup Advice
After those amazing relationships end, you have to ask yourself how things will continue. If you broke up with your partner, you must either be unhappy with them, mad at them, tired of them, or some other circumstance. So, if it is you who breaks up with the other, stop and think. As one single person, you don't have any idea what the other might go through. One moment to you is completely different that that of another. For example, you might go on a date and have the time of your life, oblivious to that fact that the one you care for is about to slit their wrists in boredom.
Just and example.
But that is something that you can relate to a breakup. You might think that things are better off without the other. They might be tripping and falling behind you, trying to catch up and get you back. It happens a lot, and these breakups are the worst. I myself went through one. And I've scraped my knees so much over these past to years tripping and falling after her(yes, two years. She's so beautiful I can't stop thinking about her). I've found out the the first and most important thing you can do to stay out of those horrible, bad break ups, is to forget. Easier said then done, right? Well, there is only one way to completely get over such a thing. Overwrite the memories that the two of you shared. Now, people call this a rebound, but isn't every boyfriend/girlfriend after the first a rebound? You must make better memories with this person. Have a greater time, and think about the new things you share rather then all the things you used to share with the other. Take it from me, with time, almost everything is mendable.

i am still working on it. it is like a journal i keep on updating and posting. stay reading that and you will totally know what is going on without missing anything
thanksss :)
i also am moving on now. todayi started going out with this boy. i have known him for awhile and it was spurr of the moment kind of thing. i just asked him out. my inspiration being what Jose said last night. things that shocked me, ripped me completely but also made me realize he isnt worth it. so the complete heartbreak was good in a way, even though it hurt.
Well, this began my 7th grade year and lasted till halfway into my 8th grade. The background info is, I never really noticed her because i thought she would never notice me and i didn't worry about it. But then one of my friends, who was also friends with her, told me that she liked me. Of course then, i was like, "That's a horrible joke," and they just laughed and said "no, really!". Then i went home thought it over, and eventually, a few weeks after that, we were together. She was great. She was shy to the point of not being clingy, but i still couldn't help holding her. She was my first kiss. I was hers. I waited 2 whole months just to take her on our annual band ski trip. I was a firm believer in symbolism, and winter and skiing was and still is one of my favorite things. So we kissed on a ski lift. Classic. I almost missed the first one, and the second was perfect. We went to everything together. All the way up to the school year. Except for one problem. She was a year older than me.<br />
She left for highschool and i had to suffice by seeing her once a day in the morning and talking to her on the phone. Now we also had a joke, that there was a guy in highschool (a junior, no less) that liked her. She told me she'd never think of dating him, and i believed that. So the school year went on, and about september she told me things were getting hard and we took a week break. We caught back up and things were better than ever. The last, best thing we had together was when we went to a local haunted mansion-type park. I held her close the whole night, keeping each other warm. She seemed happy. But then i noticed that she didn't quite seem all there.<br />
I'd call her and she'd have to leave early. I'd ask her if she wanted to come over, and she would make excuses, mumble or something. I wasn't that stupid of a kid back then. Something was up. So i prepared for it, fearing for the worst. Then, on Nov. 23 (btw, 23 was our number. It was the date of my bday *august 23* and we had a inner joke about how 23 showed up EVERYWHERE) she called me while i was with my friend patrick. we were in the kitchen and she called. I can't remember if she was crying or not...she was a strong girl. but she said that things were over (not that harshly). But she never gave a reason.<br />
She never gave a reason...<br />
I shrugged it off and told him "lets go play some bball!" and that was the end of it until he left. But i was already building it up all inside me. By December, it was a cage ready to explode. I dated another girl to see if things were better. Things didn't end up well, although we had good times till then. We're still friends, but there wasn't much friendship right after...i was still constantly thinking about her, and i had yet to get a reason! finally, i gathered by balls in my right hand and asked her. She told me she hadn't told me bc she didn't want me to get mad. I'm the most easy going, understanding person. I would never get mad, as long as i had the truth.<br />
She told me she liked the boy she told me she'd never date, and she had started to like him like, in Oct! She also said that she had liked him before we were dating, but didn't ever think it would work. This of course was the same feelings as if someone had hit me where the sun dont' shine with sledgehammer. OUCH. But i was happy she had told the truth. Since, i've gone through a few gf's, but i recently just got in another, after a year or being single. We'll c if it lives up to the challenge, but i'm having my doubts of that already...sorry for the novel
