Misfit- I hope you had an awesome time. You're pictures are awesome! Keep them coming!
Variety- Love the eye patch!
Hope: You're story broke my heart too. I applaud your strength to get back up on your feet again. I know it's not easy.
Hope's story reminded me of a heart break that I endured in college actually. There was a guy that I liked in high school for about 2 yrs. I'm a shy gal (yes, really) so I find it hard to approach someone and strike a conversation, especially if it's someone that I find interesting. Anyway, I began to discover things about him- hobbies, where he lived (he was a new student jr year in high school), his parents, etc. I found out that he also went to the same mosque. Needless to say, I started to like him more and finally worked up the courage to talk to him. After some searching , I found out where he went to college and wrote him an email. The email explained that I graduated with him, liked his poem he wrote for our school magazine, and like to talk to him about it. A few emails were passed back and forth, then it was IM and finally I had enough courage to talk to him in passing. I didn't know what to make of the situation and thought he liked me too. He gave me mixed signals: wanting my picture to remember me from high school (which I found odd because everyone had a yearbook), getting an email that said he wanted to TXT me on his phone, and other weird things.
Long story short, I asked him if he was seeing anyone. He told me he got engaged. Will be married in about 2 yrs. I was devasted. All I could think of was: "Why?" "Why didn't I get to him faster?" "What's she got that I don't have?" I had a thing for this guy for about 4 yrs and in a brief conversation it was over. Once my period of rotating every The Smiths and The Cure cd I had and banning romantic comedies were over, I was ok. The weird part is his mom and my mom are friends. My mom sees his mother frequently. The wedding did happen and my parents were invited. I wouldn't want to go if I was invited.
This is one of the major reasons why I cried several times in Eclipse and why I empathize with Jake. Reading Jacob's heartache when Bella tells him that it's over before anything began, his relentless pursuit of Bella even though she is taken, comparing himself to Edward, receiving their wedding invitation, etc. that all reopened the wound. I found myself going through the same motions as he did.
Looking back, I was a fool with rose tinted glasses that didn't see the clear signs that he wasn't interested. I also failed to process that his poem was actually really bad and that the editors didn't even want it to be published! I haven't faced him since our last encounter at the mosque, which only happend by chance.
On this somber note, I would like to ask a new question: How do you get over a heart-break/ break-up?
