loving each day wrote stupid heart

I really should do this. I need to move forward. This is NOT what’s best for me. I know all this. I know it all too well. I keep repeating it to myself. I’ve known it from the start. I NEED to let him go.

But I just don’t want to.

Unfortunately it seems that while my head is pretty clever, but my heart is so very very stupid… 15 months ago

How I did it: It was a very long process, but I found it helped to keep reminding myself each day that I was better off without him. There were valid reasons for not being with him, and I knew I didn't want to go back there.  Read how I did it… 16 months ago

How I did it:

First of all, a little background info...
    I started working at a coffee shop last July. I got to know one of the guys there pretty well. I was fighting with my fiance at the time, and things were getting bad. This boy either liked to straight mess with people or he had white knight syndrome, because he began texting me and telling me I could do better. Even after he quit working at the shop with me we kept in touch and things kept getting more out of hand. What started out as friends went horribly wrong and ended up almost costing me my relationship.


I made a list of his pro's and con's. It sounds so basic and stupid but this helped me out because I'm very visual. I thought about how much this boy hurt my feelings, my relationship. I thought about what kind of person I had become since I began interacting with him, and how being hung up on him took me away from my loved ones, because they could see what he was doing and were becoming angry with me for being so naive. I had to force myself to stop putting him on a pedestal and look at him as an average human being, with no power over me. 
When I did this, I saw him for what he was: a manipulative, messed up, little boy. The appeal was gone and the next time I saw him, I didn't feel angry or sad. It was like I'd never spoken to him in my life.

How I did it: It was horribly hard because I just moped around the house, going over everything over & over again in my head.  I had to make the deliberate decision to start going out, distracting myself with activities, hanging out with old friends. Getting out was a good way to pass the time, before I knew it a few months had passed. It also reminded me that there's such a big world out there with lots of different people.  Seeing him around was the worst, the awkwardness...telling each other what was happening in each other's life. The first couple of times I tried telling him stuff that made it sound like I was different, better than what he'd left, which was the worst thing to do - made me look horribly desperate. It was hard but, in my experience, allit took was time. Read how I did it… 3 years ago
