Breakup Advice

September 24, 2009
By Anonymous

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.

That's a pain that i know. I hope you will find someone that will keep with you, more or less not let you go with such rudeness and cruelty.

*This Is Life.in.Plaid, I just got a real account now!* I know exactly how you feel, I have been woring on a series of 5 short stories for a while now, and it's taking forever! and I just got done with the third one, they seem to be progressivly getting worse and its really hard to keep coming up with new ideas... it's quite depressing. but I am keeping at it and hopefully they will get better. ((Also, you may stop replying to my posts at any time (: ))

Yea. I've got a story i'm working on at the moment and i don't feel like putting it on here. I'd say keep it for yourself. But thats just because there isn't really a need to put it on here. My storys about 230 pages at the moment, and i'm just keeping it to humorous, breakup advice, or short stories lol. And thanks for the comment :)
