How I did it: Getting over someone leaves you with a feeling of emptiness, feels like a void is there where there used to be a relationship.I know that I should fill up that void to be able to feel like myself again. I began to make some changes with myself first...I thought it was necessary to cut all ties with him and to do that, I did not go with our common friends anymore. It was quite hard. I have tried to keep them, but every time I do, I keep co… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It just kind of happened :)I know I'm not completely done with the whole "getting over him" thing, I've felt like this once or twice before and then fell right back to square one.But I actually feel confident this time that I'm moving on.

Why would you send me those links that made me so sad and nostalgic. I broke down and cried. Just started bawling right in front of my dad. It was like salt in the largest open wound. Then to say the things you said after those type of songs?
I just CAN NOT WAIT for the day when I am healed. Can not wait.
Can’t wait for the day when hearing from you doesn’t fill me with dread, and sadness. When seeing your name pop up doesn’t fill my entire body with that horrible intense feeling I felt today. When I can listen to any song I want.
Goddammit….I just want to void to close up now.

I feel like I’m back t square one with this. My 11:11 wish made a difference for, like, a day. It still is making a difference…along with something else. Anyways, my class has changed seating and I sit very close to him. In front almost. Ew.

I don’t want to get over you. I guess I could take
a sleeping pill and sleep at will and not have to
go through what I go through. I guess I should take
Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new,
Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would
try to get you off my mind. I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I’d do if I wanted to, but I don’t
want to get over you cause I don’t want to get over love.
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don’t exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of; I could listen
to all my friends and go out again and pretend it’s enough,
or I could make a career of being blue—I could dress
in black and read Camus, smoke clove cigarettes and drink
vermouth like I was 17 that would be a scream but I
don’t want to get over you.
have successfully instilled fear in me, and I know that it’s not going to go away until I am completely over you, and come to the realization that you can’t do anything to hurt me anymore.
i just want this nightmare to end. this endless circle. i gain a little strength, i dont contact him. he decides to contact me. i fall flat on my face again. he tells me not to contact him again. i start from 1 again. why cant i just let this go for goodnesssake

2 days ago on November 11 (11.11) I made an 11:11 wish. I know, I know. It’s juvenile, but who cares? I’m only thirteen! Well anyways, I was wondering ALL day what to wish for because it had to be something BIG and important, since it would be an 11:11 wish on 11.11….you can stop rolling your eyes now.
So then I finally thought of what I would wish for. Actually, I had two possibilities for what I would wish for (brace yourselves)-For him to like me, or for me to get over him. I decided to make my wish based on what song started playing on my iPod when it turned 11:11. If one of my gushy love songs started playing, I’d wish for him to like me, and if a “getting over you” song played, I’d wish for me to get over him.
Well there I was just counting down the minutes, anxious to see which song would play and then suddenly the alarm on my iPod went off and the familiar beginning of 1901 by Phoenix started playing. Which didn’t apply to “getting over you” or gushy love songs.
And that’s when my favorite part of the song started and I realized that I would have to decide what to wish for by myself. A
Then, without even thinking I wished to just get over him. I repeated my wish about 3 times before 11:11 was over, and I swear, the second I decided to make that wish, I felt so…amazing. 1901 was blaring loudly in my ears and I just felt like I could do anything. I was untouchable at that moment, and I really really thought that I could actually do it. That I could actually stop liking him.
And you know what? I honestly think this is a turning point for me. It’s been two days since I made that wish, and my eyes will still occasionally look over in his direction. I still think his eyes are the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. His hair still sits perfectly combed and clean on his head, and yet there’s something different that I can’t exactly explain, and I think that’s a good thing :)

It’s so hard to explain. Like, I see him everyday and it’s awkward because we don’t talk at all anymore. I’m so incredibly happy with my boyfriend now, but for some reason he still affects me. Like I can’t let go of all the things he did.
It isn’t that I love him, or want him. I resent him. I really want to rid myself of this.
