Relationship Junk
So, I know that these past two years I've been blogging but haven't talked too much about relationship/ real world stuff. Believe it or not, I am a real person with real problems and drama and everything else that goes along with being a young adult at college.
Almost a month ago Jake and I broke up. (It was actually the 4th time that month that we did) That time was final though. It didn't end well, and the next day involved me yelling very loud for a long time at him for everything I felt I needed to say.
(I thought this video would be appropriate)
(actually, when I was writing the beginning of this entry this song started playing on my itunes and so I found this video on youtube to share with all of you! Crazy, eh?)
Anyway, He and I tried to work it all out and just be friends. We kept talking every day and we both really hoped that the other was doing well. The first week was okay, we didn't see each other (which was probably best) but we talked. That week was really hard for me because only after a few days of us breaking up, we was already talking to and hanging out with a couple other people. It hurt a lot because I felt like he could have waited at least a couple weeks, since we were together for a little over 6 months. I got over that whole thing, but then he started getting really cold and distant. I tried talking but that didn't work and we both kind of just gave up on the whole "being friends" thing. I guess people are right when they say it doesn't work.
Another thing that was hard about this whole situation was that I still had stuff at his house. I really just wanted to get it back so I could have all the loose ends tied up and I could really get moving on. For some reason he wanted to be a jerk (the nicest/most appropriate therm for me to use) and seemed to care less about me getting my stuff. So, I went to his house when he wasn't there and got his mom and sister to help me out. I really appreciated them helping me and it made me really sad because I really liked his family. Oh well.
So, after all of this drama, I've finally completely moved on and have started on with my life. I'm done with not being treated nicely and giving all the time and never getting anything back in return. Nobody should ever feel bad with the person they are with and unfortunately I found that out the hard way. Oh well, Such is Life!
Anyway, I hope that this can show you all that being in college isn't always a fun/amazing time. There are crappy parts and drama as well as lots of fun and hard work! At college, the environment and dynamics of every relationship (platonic or not) are constantly changing. It's always great to have close friends and your family to talk to or go to when you have problems like this or any other adversity you may encounter.
Just remember: there's always good that comes out of bad and something can always be learned from every situation!
