Well, it's over. I'm alone again. But I'm OK with that.

"I guess you need to experience these lows to appreciate the highs in life. I guess it's unfair to ask of them to stick around, just to make you happy. And I guess it's not just because things ended that you have to hate the memories.
"And the weird thing is that, you know all of this already. You don't need me or anyone else to tell you.
"Because you've always known, deep inside, that it will pass. These feelings will go away eventually. You were a perfectly happy human being before, and you will be again. In the future you know that he or she will move on and find someone else. And you'll do the same. You'll probably even be happy for each other.
"It's just that, right now, right here, in this moment... that sounds terrible."

She broke my heart when she left, and I felt worse than I ever had before in my life. I spent hours on end curled up with tears on my face, avoiding contact with the outside world.
But I know now that it wasn't perfect. I was too blinded by infatuation to see the truth that she wasn't ever really interested. So it's over now. She's 11600 miles away and I won't have to worry about running into her again, despite that distance being the source of my pain.
Now? I'm moving on. I made this thread just to give myself a sense of closure really.
And I'm free again.
