Day 35 =l

I wouldn't look at it so negatively my friend. It's very likely she still cares for you and still has feelings for you...
Yeah, it is possible that she still have some feelings, she is human after all, and we did shared a great relationship. But I do actually believe that she is just trying to mess with my head. And I think it's better to have this kind of thought.
Nurturing this idea that they may still feel something for us is what is keeping us from moving on. I'm trying to accept the fact,
and so should you Jariel, that if they really felt something valuable enough for us to worry about it, they would already be by oursides. Since it's not the case for both of us, or anyone else in here for that matter,
it's unhealthly to belive otherwise.
I didn't even realise it, but ever since she got in touch, suggested meeting, hinted at something casual, I've been clinging on to that thread of hope and refusing to let go...
...Instead of saying, "that's it, I'm done" I keep waiting and hoping for something more...
...That's a month of waiting and hoping, of being stuck in a rut when I should be moving forward and healing.
Do you actually believe that a girl telling you that she loves you so damn much could easily remain silent for a whole month without any sign of desperation??? Think about it...
My case is very much the same. She told me that
her silence is not indifference, but instead it's commotion. Seriously, that's almost a joke. Do you really think that a woman could be so affected by a letter that she could not figure out what to reply 35 days after receiving it? Am I that much good of a writer? Are my words are so impossible to
"digest"?
I don't believe so, even though my writing skills are much better in Portuguese, they are not
that amazing. Your ex told you that, in the same way my ex told me this s**t. That was just a breadcrumb, so we could feed some thoughs of actual love in our minds like pidgeons on a park. To leave us hanging by a tread. A small sign of hope, while she is out there, living her life as if nothing has ever happened. 'Cmon, it's been almost 6 months. I'm not a fool, and neither should you be.
They are living their lifes, and so should we, instead of focusing on small breadcrumbs of hope...
My point is, it's not as clear cut as a lot of guys will let you believe. What she did was probably not easy for her, but was the right choice for you both.
I'm damn sure it wasn't easy for her. But I do not believe it was right. I believe otherwise. It was downright wrong. She chose that by herself, without even giving me a chance to talk about it. She felt bad for a month and walked away.
It's way easier walking away with someone by your side than dealing with being walked away on your own. That is pretty selfish in my humble opinion.
I keep thinking of ways I can fvck my ex one last time or have something casual with her....
...I had it all planned out in my mind. We would fvck wildly, spend time together looking at each other, holding each other, then I'd act indifferent the next days and hope that she would come chasing me...
...that's not all I want. I want to experience that closeness with her again, to rewind time for just a moment and to feel the passion and affection again...and a chance to try and win her back into my life.
You are right in this one. Thats is why every morning when I wake up I keep telling myself:
"Let it go man, there is no turning back. It's not happening. Stop fooling yourself".
My point is simple.
We got to stop fooling ourselfs. We cannot make it happen, because nothing is happening, and nothing will. Believing that someday in the future when we are stronger, smarter and more mature we could meet up with them again is only
holding us back. I know is hard to let go of this picture, but this is one of those times in life that we got to man up, and walk the crooked path,
alone.
Feeding false hopes will only get us stuck on 2013 for god knows how long.
(It's easier said than done though...)
Why Letting go is so hard...
As soon as I truly let go, I have to face the fact that she's gone forever and I'm never going to see or speak to her again...and that's just so painful to accept.
This isn't an issue when somebody dies because there is no hope...you know they're not coming back. Your only choice is to accept it...
It is hard, because it's painful to accept that someone who loved us so much, that shared so many moments, dreams and dramas is gone. Forever. We are not ever going to see or speak to them again as you said. So, we have to imbeed that idea in our heads. My friend told me this few days after the breakup.
She is dead. She is not coming back.
There is only the ghost of her that lives in our minds, and forever will. Really, our only chance is to accept it. And, in case she ever come across us, we better run, because it is a ghost haunting us.
And they are dead indeed. The person that we loved died.
There is that body, of that woman, that closely resembles to her. But it is not her. She died and lives only in our memories.
That woman is another person that happens to live inside the body of someone that does not exist anymore. At least for us. I know how hard all of this is. Not being able to call to chat to someone carelessly, without having to worry about game, or chase, or value or any of that bullcr*p and just talk about your day, and tell her whats bothering and how much you can't wait to see her again, but the traffic is terrible...
But, can you call your dead grandma? No! Neither can I.
So, can you call your dead girlfriend...?
Sadly, you can't
This is life, and we got accept it.
If they were really into us, or cared as much as you believe they do, we wouldn't be talking to each other me and you...
I'm not saying that we would be together with them, but we would be at least trying to figure something out with them, not with us!
As you said:
It's time to let it go now mate...just as I must let my ex go. It's the only way we will get over the pain and confusion and move on.
Anyway, thanks for your words man, and
Congratulations on your date!! As
Groverz said, it gives us all hope!
Peace!
