moving on:

is harder than just erasing pictures off your computer. it takes time. sometimes lots of it. other times, those people may realize that they're still supposed to be together. you really never know until you give it time. "Love must have wings to fly away from love, and to fly back again." i've realized that as much as we want to forget, we have to learn from our mistakes and grow from them. i know you can't get over someone with the flick of a light switch but you don't have to go around crying either. which doesn't mean it's not okay to cry, just not for weeks. so cry your heart out at first, accept it and understand there's no going back, reflect on the past and then let it go. i'm trying to see this as a new beginning. a clean slate to hang out with my friends again and just be myself without the worries of having a judgmental boyfriend. 

relationships:

are like roller coasters. they're thrilling and full of winding turns. one minute you'll be easing along up the mountain, then the next you're flying downhill and spinning out of control. once the newness wears off, you're just with someone. but every now and then, you get lucky and end up with someone special. someone you get along with, someone who makes you happy to the point you didn't think such a feeling existed. someone who makes you feel better when you've had a bad day. someone who's touch makes everything that went wrong seem to disappear. everyone knows two people can't always be happy all the time and sometimes people get into arguments with the people they love the most. then it feels like your whole world has shattered and the roller coaster isn't so much fun anymore. if there's anything I've realized, it's that crying yourself to sleep at night isn't going to get you anywhere. i know that i have to talk to the person and if it's meant to be, everything will be alright again.
