I share the same views as some of the other members up there. A part of me really agrees with BT...and another part of me agrees with BigDr.
I guess what it really boils down to is finding the strength to pick up and move past this. Move forward and onward, ya know?
It's just one hit in the boxing match that is life. What you make of it is up to you. Are you gonna run back to the corner sniveling and contemplating throwing the towel in? Or are you gonna get pissed and start the next round by being more methodical and going for the knockout?
Not tryin to flame you or anything, just trying to give you a different aspect to look at.
Don't give up...don't let it get you down. I know it's alot easier said than done, but it needs to be done. There are many more oppportunities out there...it's just a matter of being discreet in your selection progress. Take your time, choose wisely. If you get hit hard, then chalk it up to a learning experience and move on...this time with that much more knowledge about what may or may not hurt you.
I've been down the road of self-pity...thought many times to myself that I was never gonna catch a break and that all of this crap was not worth it. At the time, I was wallowing in self-pity.
Looking back on it now, I despise how I acted. I saw myself as too weak...too easily hurt. Things are much different now.
Sure, I catch myself slipping and start wondering "why did this happen to me?", but I quickly get rid of those thoughts, as they are not beneficial to me in any way. All it does is make me weaker and more vulnerable...and more prone to being hurt.
Your heart will always be there, so take your time giving it away. Be selective and look to yourself.
That other person obviously won't be there for you when you bite the dust.
