so think twice next time before you fuck with someones mind. the shit hurts people in different ways so stop thinking of yourself sometimes.
This is such a powerful statement.
I've read every post page for page of this thread and have to admit that most of you guys/gals are right. Each person brings a valid point to the table. Cowcutter, I don't know you but am truly sorry for what you're going through.
I'm not going to man/woman hate in here but note that men and women deal with the same issues daily. How you deal with it decides your future. You can let it make you or break you. To my misfortune, I too have experienced all of the same emotions, uncertainties, insecurities, doubt, etc that you're dealing with. Now, years later, they still surface. It's really hard to find a way out...to grasp the breath of fresh air. (Especially when you truly love someone.) And yes, like the guys have said in here (some of them) it'd be easy to forget what you're dealing with by pouncing on the next hottie that walks by. But, IMO, all that will do is surpress all of those feelings and create a wicked, malicious, angered, depressed, you name it, you. You create a "victim crutch" for yourself and the excuses for life begin. And could very well make you miss an incredible oppty in the future. Some men and women are too bound by these negative emotions to be able to see something awesome walking in their life....or out for that matter. I would say "stay strong"...but that's quite the cliche with what you're going through. Only you will know the right time to let go.
To succeed at anything in life beit realtionships, career, what have you....you have to daily rededicate yourself to that task, project, committment. Though it sounds like you have done that...you might have a bad egg on the other side. (w/her)
Imo, age is a number....we can define a person based on that all day long....but i feel maturity, experience, goals, self-awareness, and intellect are what truly define a person. (but that's just my $.02)
I hope things get better for you.
