    With you just wanting her to be happy and she just wanting her to be happy it doesn't seem like she cares much about your position. :(

    Girls lie. And some of us are really good at it. I don't mean to make you unhappy, because you're obviously proud that you've reached this place with her and that is pretty great in its own right but. . . okay, I've been in this situation before. A few times. Except I was in her shoes, and not yours and it's suprising how you can love someone so much at one point then stop caring about their feelings in an instant.

    I believe not all women are like me in that way, but by the way she talks about her boyfriend to you. . . she's using you. Trust me, I have done this to boys so many times and if you really care about your friends, you curb your speech for them, and she isn't.

    I can't really explain the way I'd like to, but anyway you look at it, you're being used-- she doesn't want you to move on and you probably don't either because accepting the pain and moving on is much harder than just being used sometimes.

    tl;dr

    It's your life and you can waste it however you like.

    I know! Doesn't running through the fountain at Seattle Center sound good right now?

    We're leaving for a picnic at the lake in just a bit. It's still completely cloudless outside, just an endless, bright blue sky.

    Oh believe me I know all about lying. Especially when it comes to the Internet. Anyone can be anyone they want. I know this all to well. But I don't think she is. I care about my feelings and how I feel. However I try and place them lower then others. Not just someone I care about, but just about anyone. Will this lead me to an uncomfortable life? Maybe, most likely so. But if I can make someone else happy, even if it pains me a bit. I say thats worth it. But thats just me and how I view things.

    But heres the thing. She doesn't want to talk about her boyfriend. The only times she talks about him... which isn't often. Is mostly telling me she is getting ready and can't stay on long. In fact the ONLY time she ever mentions it, is when I bring it up. She also sorta dances around the issue. So... yeah by your very own reasoning. She isn't using me. lol



    Except she has made it abundantly clear that she does want me to move on. She believed that I couldn't move on from her. We talked about her feelings about this. She wants me to find someone to love, who loves me.

    Now of course we can go back to the concept of her lying. Thats always a valid point. However, I could also argue that you could be lying. Hell right now for all you know I could be lying. Hell we might be trying to troll each other without realizing it.

    But when you think like that... it seems to be a bad thing. Sometimes you got to have a bit of faith in humanity.

    Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself more than me. Do what you like, but you should really not mention that you still talk to the girl you love who left you, but you're still great friends with even though shes in love with someone else to who ever you do start seeing. Because people usually don't see that as moving on.

    I am just trying to present the full story. Before it wasn't, because I figured my post would have been lost in here. The thing is you were assuming things that were not happening. Not that I would blame you or anything.

    Ok maybe I should have said it differently. Its not that I have necessarily moved on, its that I know I can and that she isn't the one holding me back.

    But depending on how it will end, I think I will always love the people I have been with. And why shouldn't I? Of course I suppose it would transform into a different kind of love. But love either way.

    I didn't say you shouldn't still have a place in your heart for your past loves, especially when they havent really hurt you. It's good to be the way you are, but. . . I'm saying you should look out for yourself a little, because if you keep giving and giving and giving, you'll have nothing left and then you won't be the giving, kind person that you are. You'll change into someone else.

    Gah. Just think about yourself a little.

    Seems like I may have completely misunderstood you. For that, I am sorry.

    But don't worry. I know I need to take care of myself too.

    I slept well last night.

    Doesn't sound like much, right?

    When one has suffered from a lifetime of insomnia, a good night's sleep is like cool water in the desert.

    Mmm. My mum has had bad sleeping issues ever since I was born (oops), and she practically throws a party every time she sleeps for six straight hours. Cheers for sleep!

    Just spent two hours on the phone with Ray 'til we both fell half asleep... It's nice to have somebody again. It's been awhile.

    I'm happy with the ridiculously amusing amount of curse words in the translated version of the original Japanese version of FFVI. Kefka is hilarious.

    I learned I made someone almost cry today from my writing. :D
    Because I view such remarks as high compliments. When something I write can disturb someone, take them on a roller coaster of emotions, then I believe I have done something right. :)
