People are full of bad decisions
I am just another person. A broiling stew of chemical emotions. I've made a lot of bad decisions on these emotions, but never had I ever made the worse decision of my life. All of my poor decisions were somewhat, equivalent in their relative badness. I decided not to shower today, because I was lazy, and so I had somewhat of a down-trodden appearance, a bad decision. I decided to eat poorly, maybe some Taco Bell, also a bad decision. I let a few homework assignments slide, no big deal, but nonetheless, a bad decision. All of these are all equal in relative badness. What happens when your life becomes nothing but a series of equally bad decisions? If you take a step backward, you can see the whole picture.

People in your life are being hurt, because you lack respect for yourself. People that you love, so fucking much, and promised you would never hurt, are affected by your poor judgment. Your lack of self confidence radiates outwardly, slapping every nearby friend in the face, and you watch as they jolt back, and for some reason come back to you, because they love you. This has been my life ever since high school.

I miss so many of the good things, like our tree, or our retarded obsession with screaming "SHOTGUN WEDDING SHOTGUN WEDDING." I miss taking you for walks, but only if you're on the right side. Chivalry be damned, I love you're left hand in my right.

I've sacrificed so much on one gamble. How stupid can a person be to gamble their entire life's happiness on one thread. One, "grass may be greener" decision.

I'm going to work so hard to make it all right, because if I can't, I'm never going to be able to live with myself.

I love you.

I have no idea what happened...but.

Evan and I had a rough patch where we kinda broke up for a week and didn't see each other and just talked out everything that was bothering us. I am talking issues that were years old and never got resolved, and it helped a ton.

IDK what you're talking about by the grass is greener decision but in general staying with a safe option just for the sake of it being familiar is generally a bad move. On the other hand if you're content but you think "hmm maybe this could be better" that also might not end well. Basically you have to be able to want to do things that improve your life (even if, regrettably it means leaving someone or something behind) but you also need to know when to turn it off.

I'm sorry if that made no sense, I've been half asleep all day.

No, thank you, it made a lot of sense. I've given a lot of thought to this lately, and you're pretty spot on with your assertions. I'm happy to say this isn't just a simple case of "for the sake of it being familiar." This is case of, "holy shit, what have I done?"

When you find somebody who loves you as much as the person I have found, and you know that you love them too, and for a moment you're not together, it's like being torn apart limb by limb.

If somehow Mara and I don't end up back together, I'm going to be able to withstand a fucking train hitting me.

I do know how you feel, I felt all cold and clammy and just plain WEIRD when we weren't together. I would consider carefully why you made the decision you did initially (it sounds like you are the one who broke up with her) because there had to be a reason for it. It takes a lot of talking with the other person to work out whatever issues were there. I know how cliche that sounds but it's totally true.

You have my screen name if you want to talk or anything. It totally sucks being in the immediate post-breakup. I know how it goes. I hope you end up with things the way you want them to.

I appreciate it. You really have a great heart to want to help somebody out who barely talks to you. I'm glad I had some sort of effect on you that made you remotely care about my situation.

Mara and I are doing a lot of talking. More talking than we ever did when we were together. I broke up with her for very selfish reasons last Sunday. It wasn't until Tuesday until I caught her in person, and boy did I get an earful. She made me realize a lot about myself I wasn't completely aware of. Things I did to her, or to myself, that were destructive.

Since then we've talked a lot... and will continue talking... until it seems like we should be together again. Or, if the wind blows us in different directions, then at least we can say we tried.

I really love her a lot, and this is a situation where I've already considered everything about how it all came about. I'm more than positive I made a mistake, and I want to make it right.

Thanks again for offering your support. You really know who you can call friends and who you can't when you're down.

Eh, You have always helped me or tried when I asked. Besides that, your situation is entirely parallel to mine except our breakup at the time was a mutual decision and i'm not sure if the reasoning was the same. But as for where you are at now, it just kinda rings home for me.

Talking is good. I know for me talking everything out is what made us want to be back together, I learned things about him that he'd not really shown to me while we were dating. Not bad things, but parts of him that he just doesn't really show. So it might work out. I wouldn't hang out with her yet or see her (not that you asked), unless you are absolutely sure that your feelings won't get in the way of having those conversations. We didn't hang for about a week and a half and that honestly made it easier because if i had had to see him it would have made it more difficult to work things out. YMMV though.

Yeah, it will have been a week this Sunday. I don't think we plan on hanging out any time soon. It would be too hard just to immediately forget everything and get lost in the moment because of how much I miss her. I don't want to do anything other than hold her. As nice as it sounds, it wont solve any problems.
