Had two reminders of the past 16 months ago

recently.

I don’t really use it, but I joined facebook a few months ago. I got lots of friend requests from people at school in the beginning, but I was okay with that and ignored most of them. Then recently I got one from this guy I used to like and was my friend. We had one date and it kinda got screwed up after that. It was all complicated and I was foolish for liking him anyway. I’d moved on and gotten over him, but getting that friend request I didn’t know what to do. I left it and the other day accepted, looked at his page and some photos and changed my mind. I undid it. It felt wrong.

Today I read an email from my mum saying my ex-best friend for many years had seen her and my sister shopping on saturday. My mum really liked her and her mum had babysat us for a bit, so she knew the whole family. We had lots of arguments over msn and stuff though and I felt she thought she was better than me because she’s two years older and there were other problems. I ended the friendship years ago. Mum forwarded me the emails. I burst into tears. I’m not sure if it was because of her or what my mum had said to her about me. I don’t want to get to know her again. I gave her her second chance already. I’m done with her as far as I’m concerned. If my mum wants to email or even meet up with her, whatever. But I don’t want to have to deal with seeing her again.

These two incidences have just shaken(?) me up a bit.



Realised 2 years ago

on the way home today I’m actually making progress on this goal :)



Moving on 3 years ago

I think I am on my way to letting go of the past, but I’ll have to see – hope I haven’t jinxed it. I feel this site has helped me concentrate on the good things a bit more and I have hardly thought of bad stuff in the past unless it is for a plausable reason, like asking myself if I have completed this goal…:)



well... 3 years ago

I have been telling myself I need to learn how to let go of the past a lot recently, as I think it’s holding me back. I just can’t seem to find a way of doing it, everytime I think I’m getting there something seems to happen and I’m back to where I started..
