Today is one of those days when I sorely miss the future I should have been living right now. When I look back and think that nearly a quarter of my life was spent working and making sacrifices to a goal I thought was not only within my reach, but inevetible, it leaves me feeling sick inside. What's harder is to see that all my efforts and the

You are a stronger person because of everything you went through. I have spent a quarter of my (future) life in school, and I still do not know what I want to do, or what I want from life other than I want to be rich, travel, and happy. Sometimes things happen, and we don't understand them or see reason in them for years down the road, if ever. It's hard to put so much into something you truely believe in, and then not have anything come from it. Although with me it was only two years with Richard, it took me nearly four years to get over what I went through with him and because of him. I put several years into a best friend that basically dumped me in one day because I was transferring to another school. I put years into a best friend and thought that maybe something more could come of it, but it ended quickly once he realized there was actually something there. Of course, it took him having a girlfriend and me going on a date with Richard before he realized it, but in less than a month, our friendship had crumbled. It sucks

You are Powerful

I went through a particularly terrible breakup(See my entries around 7-3-2002). It was awful, but it opened my eyes to the world in some ways. Prior to this, I had always believed in romantic destiny; that the person I would marry was out there and I just had to find that person.

The truth is that finding a relationship is like finding a good pair of shoes. You won't find a perfect match, but you will find many great pairs of shoes. Eventually, you find a pair that is so comfortable, encouraging, and inspiring that you never take them off.

I think the hardest part about relationships is that people change, and they may grow away from you as they age.

The second hardest part about relationships is that, sometimes, people are unwilling to embrace change; they won't get rid of bad habits and people that keep them down or cause them misery.

I think the most important thing to take from my experience is knowing that you are powerful. You create your own destiny by moving on, chasing your dreams, accepting the way things

I tried to think of something deep and meaningfull to say, but I don't have anything. If I had an answer as to how to get over Jen and know that everything I had done with her, and everything we had was worth more then nothing at all. I would tell you. But I don't.
I move on day to day with the thought that if she didn't have that time with me, if I didn't do the things with her that we did. That if I had not affected her life, good or bad, in the way I did. She might have never met Tom. She might never have truly been happy.
Take things one thing at a time.
You changed his life in a way that no one ever could have. because you and him had those moments. He is a better person in a way because of you.
At least chew that for a minute... it seems to help me though the night.
