leav­ing the past behind you…, orig­i­nally uploaded by Jef­frey Eric.

Every self-help book that I have read has the same phi­los­o­phy when it comes to the past. Leave it behind. You will never be able to move for­ward if you are still dwelling on it. It’s some­thing that I keep get­ting bet­ter at doing in all parts of my life, except my love life.

I keep think­ing about two of my exes, and I know that I won’t be able to find some­one who I can be in a healthy rela­tion­ship with until I for­get them. They were both detri­men­tal to my emo­tional and phys­i­cal health, so I know that I can’t keep think­ing about them. Out of two, I will have to say that L. is the one I really have to stop think­ing about. Our three-year rela­tion­ship was filled with her con­stant cheat­ing, lies, and psy­cho­log­i­cal imbal­ance. She was abu­sive and mean. I know that she hasn’t changed, even though she says she has, so I don’t know why it’s so hard to stop think­ing about this girl.

It’s hard when it’s some­one of the same gen­der. She is not just your lover; she is also your best friend. With a guy, you can mope around for a bit, but even­tu­ally, you get up and keep going. With a woman, you feel like you have no one, espe­cially when you alien­ated every­one to the point that it was just you two.

I am slowly for­get­ting about her cause I know that she has ridicu­lous issues. A month ago, I joined eHar­mony, and I am meet­ing some amaz­ing guys. There are three that I am really inter­ested in, so I am excited to say that I am going out with my top one out of three this Sat­ur­day, so wish me luck!
