Breakup Advice
After those amazing relationships end, you have to ask yourself how things will continue. If you broke up with your partner, you must either be unhappy with them, mad at them, tired of them, or some other circumstance. So, if it is you who breaks up with the other, stop and think. As one single person, you don't have any idea what the other might go through. One moment to you is completely different that that of another. For example, you might go on a date and have the time of your life, oblivious to that fact that the one you care for is about to slit their wrists in boredom.
Just and example.
But that is something that you can relate to a breakup. You might think that things are better off without the other. They might be tripping and falling behind you, trying to catch up and get you back. It happens a lot, and these breakups are the worst. I myself went through one. And I've scraped my knees so much over these past to years tripping and falling after her(yes, two years. She's so beautiful I can't stop thinking about her). I've found out the the first and most important thing you can do to stay out of those horrible, bad break ups, is to forget. Easier said then done, right? Well, there is only one way to completely get over such a thing. Overwrite the memories that the two of you shared. Now, people call this a rebound, but isn't every boyfriend/girlfriend after the first a rebound? You must make better memories with this person. Have a greater time, and think about the new things you share rather then all the things you used to share with the other. Take it from me, with time, almost everything is mendable.

I agree with cyanidesun.
Sorry.
But your writing is very good.
I just didn't like its topic.

I respectfully disagree. Trying to erase memories you had with someone else by covering it up with new memories won't solve the problem. That, my friend, is only what I like to call "serial dating." Where most people end up hurting themselves is when they start thinking that the care of another person will mend their wounds. You know, people always talk about finding someone who "completes you," but what you should really be looking for is someone who complements your completeness. How could you love someone when you don't know how to love yourself?
In a way, you are right; no one can ever know exactly how another person feels. But isn't that what everyone's looking for? Someone who knows exactly how they feel? Sadly, that only happens in literature (oh, the irony).
I guess what I'm trying to say is that healing from heartbreak or grief or whatever else a person deals with can only come from working through it themselves, not using another person's affection to cover it up like spraying febreze into a garbage can. You know?
/end rant :)
i had a thing with this guy. i understnad the whole two poitns of view thing because while i thought he really liked me and he was just busy and couldnt hang out, it turns out he just liked me as a friend. as one person, its impossible to know what went wrong, and i'm just starting to learn not to question what i did wrong, because i can never know.
by the way, i really like thie piece.
