I never claim it's easy. Maybe i'm overly optimistic but i'm all abt the heart of things. If your heart's not in that direction nothing's gonna happen. Maybe there will only be a 1% chance of it happening. But if you give up and choose to dwell and cry about the past that 1% instantly becomes 0%. You may call it 'loyal' you may call it being a 'romantic'. I think that at this point it's just hindering you from getting on with your life. I'm not for that old 'i'm gonna continue loving that person and move on someday when a new sunshine enters my life and cheer me up" routine. Have i been rejected b4? Plenty a time since my sec sch days. Have i even comtemplated suicide b4? Yep, and thank the Heavens i had like 8 guys rushing to my place to cheer me up. I've left those behind in my youth, but the lesson i still carry with me. I'm just telling you that at the end of the day, the battle you have to fight is in your heart. And you have to fight harshly with yourself to come to the right conclusions, for the more sentimental you are, the greater the toll this kinda thing will take upon you. Times like this we just have to live it up, acknowledge the facts. Up till now you might have some great times, but they belong to past now. Perhaps you've started loving this person b4 you even realized and it's hard to rid those attachments. But it really is over, and you just have to move on - nothing on the outside will change, your life will remain the same. It's what's inside that's out-of-date, obselete. Time to do rearrange your feelings, time to check your heart. FIGHT that battle, and move on. We're all waiting on the finishing line for you, we're all rooting for you here
