YAY...quick post

I was out drinking last night with some friends and thought of my ex...
For a minute, I had the urge to text him. But then I thought to myself, WHY?! I have absolutely nothing to say to him...so I didn't :)
Even though I was drunk and pretty out of it, I realized that...and to me, that seems like a positive step foward :)

That's excellent. I think one of the first steps, even baby steps to moving on is to stop contacting them, even if it's just to say Hi. I mean if they're not calling you, why should you call them.
I no longer have urges to call or see my ex. My biggest thing now is to stop looking out for his car in traffic (we take the same route to work). This not only makes me nervous, but makes my stomach ache if I do see him (like I did yesterday).
Baby steps! We're doing good!
Yes, baby steps are definitely a good thing :) Sometimes I think about my ex and wonder if I should contact him...but then I remind myself of all the times he has ignored me in the past, and how if he really wants to talk to me, he will get ahold of me. It's odd how something as little as sending a text just to say "hi" can set you back in your healing process.
Congrats on your progress as well!
Thanks!
I'm glad you're inspired...I hope you continue remaining strong! You can do it :)
I'm glad to hear that you're making progress...
and of course it's ok to be cautious at first...but don't be too afraid to open up to someone next time. I personally don't think that preparing yourself for the worst is a good way to live your life. It's scary trusting your own judgment again after getting your heart broken, isn't it? But you may miss out on someone great if you don't take the risk...
"Don't ever be so afraid of heartache that you forget to love."
"Loving someone is gonna hurt, and the sooner you let yourself feel that, the sooner you'll be able to love again."
just recently i had another breakup, but in this case, i poured myself into it completely, even though probably there were some warning signs that i shouldn't have. i'm telling you, the love you feel ends up protecting you more than it hurts you. sure, you're way far in, way exposed, and even way shocked that it's over. but at the same time, if you listen to your heart, that love tells you how to get out of it. you get little instincts about how to fix yourself. if you listen to those instincts, you get better a whole lot faster.
so my advise is, meet someone, check them out at the beginning, ask all the questions you want to ask, then when love comes rings the doorbell, just go for it. you're just better off each time.
Congrats on being strong!
