If you're going to hold on to hope, you need to put it in a box and put it in the back of the highest shelf of your emotional closet that you can, so that it's not something you can easily pull out and look at (in the metaphysical sense), because holding on to hope just keeps you stuck, otherwise.


I had a five month relationship end recently because of bad timing (or so he told me, although I do wonder if it was really because he just wasn't that into me) and it's hard not to hope that if and when things change we'll have another chance, but I'm really working on letting that hope go (or packing it away in the back of my closet, to use my metaphor).

He sounds kind of yummy..I can see why you hope for the best.


It is one thing to need some time to process the emotions that are a part of breaking up and then there is the "I am not ready to be in a relationship" talk.

Thanks--no, not too brutal, just disappointing.
