Thought I was alive only when it hurt, and it took that ride to the edge of the earth. I thought I was strong, I thought I was tough, I took just a little and I called it enough. I could stand here and complain,Or make a path of the pain.
Anywhere I'm going takes everywhere I've been
I've done a lot of living, I wouldn't care to do again
I wouldn't change a mile I swear of the road that'll get me there, anywhere I'm going.

Deep Thoughts....

Latley, I have been wondering when "I'm still getting over my ex" stops being what protects people from my hurting them by letting them fall for me, and then unjustly comparing every little thing to how it doesn't feel nearly as good as it did with exmanfriend....and when it becomes something that is only hurting me, by keeping people out of my heart.

Today, my Mom even said, "if you love him so much you should just be with him". As if it were all up to me. Plus, I haven't forgotten his aversion to committment, a.k.a the great heart break of 2011. I haven't.

So, I have been operating under the assumption that I will simply know when it is ok to move on. Not that I haven't tried.

Maybe my heart is just not ready to let go, even after all this time.

Aw... sounds like you're going through a rough time. I hope it gets better. Love is a tricky beast.
