anyway, to cut a very long story short and since i don't feel like being dramatic tonight, the hard part about love is getting over your love
i guess i did, feeling wise... and i suppose i managed to get past the memories by keeping myself busy building my career but the hard part now is to identify the damages and try to fix them... fa ya observer mafi 3endak some tips?  |
Dear Xena,
though i can't say that at your age i lost a great love, but i think the recipe is the same to get over a relation that affected you: work hard, it's an occasion to throw yourself at work, really change your carrier options and have a more successful life , exercise a lot, sports is a remedy.
Maybe you can explore some artistic talents and you never had the occasion to do it before: drawing, photography, cooking classes (i myself am taking Italian cooking classes now....) . Yoga is very good also, hanging out with friends( who don't know him, so you won't be eager to hear about him), and a blessing to woman kind: go shopping ,take care of yourself ...(men don't have this superficial but sometimes very effective relief hehehe)
And last but not least: cut off all bonds, don't talk to him,not even on special occasions, don't e-mail him, don't even look at your pictures together......Tell him you're doing it because it's better for you this way,and if he loves you he'll understand..... And in two or three years (not before), you'll have only good memories of this relation, the bad ones will fade away...Only then, and if you feel like it, he can become a friend....
I know most of my advices seem so superficial, but if you take things too seriously in life, it will get harder and bitter....and this is only your first disappointment....I hope you won't have any other, but meanwhile try to build yourself a strong armor
And hey, life is nothing but a play we take part in, let's try to have a meaningful one....Those who have it easy and nice all the way are such a bore

Let's live it thoroughly, even if it hurts sometimes( or even most of the time). Maybe i'm wrong, but i think that this kind of experience makes people more human and mature and genuine....
Regards, and good luck
