There is something irresistable about the unattainable.......

I agree with this completely...been there too , watched him get back together with his ex, listened to him vent, gave him advice, all the while loving this man with all my heart.. hes still with her.. and happy..

For me I would probably pour my feelings into poetry but thats just my way of venting feelings that have no where else to go. Writing is a great cure all whether it is poetry, a diary, etc....I would talk to a friend as well, talking things over helps you let go...And me I would probably always hold a soft spot in my heart for that person but I am mature enough to know that somethings just aren't meant to be~

Excellent ways to not only address your feelings, but to help keep you sane & moving forward

{{{{{{{{ God Bless you Missy!}}}}}} sounds to me that you know how to love unconditionally.. and when you extended your hand & heart to him in friendship, that you are a woman that is true to her word.

aaaaaaaahhhh.. and there is the rub! How to resist that which is irresistable??

That's an awesome question... Grin bear it, and hold your head up high like you're the prom queen... never let 'em see you sweat.

I don't know, if you find out let me know.

A friend suggested recently that I read and listen to Kelly Clarkson's song Addicted. Gave me a different perspective on a recent situation.

go to your Happy Place

I know what you shouldn't do. You shouldn't lash out at the world because it happened. You shouldn't get so upset about it, and then deny that you are, cause it only makes it worse.

There is NO CANT IN MY VOCABULARY!!!

that's exactly what I plan on doing

Okay.. The first step is admitting to yourself that it's never going to be. Otherwise you will always have this glimmer of hope and expectations that will never come to be.

Second step is surround youself with family and friends. Sometimes is helps to get your mind off of things. It also helps to talk about it and get it off of your chest.

Third step is writing. If you get it all down on paper, it's no longer festering and haunting you inside. Whatever means you choose to write.

Fourth step is to accept it for what it is. You will probably always have a place in your heart for this person. But do not let it stop you from finding your mutual match! heh

Life holds too much mystery and surprising love and miraculous....to be turned away from with a shrug of the shoulders.
Do you dare believe that another and better love is just around the corner? Whom do you admire today who took a love years ago, and their happiness is evident?
It happens. I've done it. People are accepting and loving or they are unhappy that you did not please them with your life...and guess how much that is worth.
