Are You Ready for This?

Ok here goes.
He doesn't give a flying fuck about me. I thought he cared for me a little bit, but no..he doesn't. We had everything that makes a relationship except the titles, and I told him I loved him. He told me he loved me, then kinda took it back...
NOW he's told me that he had sex twice with his ex-BOYFRIEND! After I told him I loved him...you'd think he'd be considerate enough to let me go, to stop being so freaking intimate with me...but no! he kept it from me for a couple of weeks! And I've been denying the pain he's put me through, but now it's all crashing down on me in one huge tsunami of hurt. My heart crumbled, shattered, disintegrated...

I don't ever want to feel that pain again. He was everything I wanted. Though the tiny fragment of the heart that belonged to him, which still remains, is denying it, I will never be able to have him. It hurts to know that I will get nothing that I want. So I decided with my friends' help that I would cut off contact with him...for a few months at least. I need to stop loving him if I can. If I can't? I won't ever talk to him again. I devoted the last year of my life to him, and I feel so STUPID now for doing so. The only thing I wanted was for him to be happy, if he had called me in the middle of the night saying he wanted me there, I would have been there. I don't know if there was anything I wouldn't have done for him. And that scares me. It scares me that I could be so devoted to someone. But maybe that's what love is? Devoting every cell in your body to someone. So, if I love him this much...how do I get over that? I said I would come back to him as his friend...but...can I really come back having fallen out of love? I don't know if my heart wants to let go of that love.

So I need to find someone else to love. Someone I can find that will devote themselves to me, like I would do for them. Someone who won't hurt me. Someone who respects me...Someone who won't treat me like I'm DISPOSABLE...

I saw him one last time to say goodbye...I didn't cry until I was walking away...luckily one of my best friends was there with me to support me...and she let me cry...then after I was done, we went out and had a blast. She made me laugh so hard I cried...It will be her and the other friends I have around me that will get me through this...

Did I say this already? A few years ago I was diagnosed with depression. Those who have not experienced this disease doesn't know what it's like to be sad ALL THE TIME. Day in and day out, all tears and sadness. Problems I couldn't solve...people I couldn't stand. I took comfort in, regrettably, my OCD. I would watch movies in my room over and over and over, until I could recite the lines word for word. That was my vice, that's how I escaped the sadness. It was wrong. I couldn't face the sadness so I avoided it. Shit...that's kinda what I'm doing now, isn't it? But what else am I going to do? If I keep loving him, I'm just going to get hurt again and again. The morning after he confessed to me, I woke up, and that same sadness, the way my body felt, numb and heavy and lifeless...that's how I felt. That sadness is one of the worst memories for me, I NEVER wanted to feel it ever EVER again. He forced me...to feel it. So I need to stop loving him...I forgave him, I always do...but how many more times will I need to forgive him if I keep loving him? Doesn't he not deserve my love? He doesn't understand how much I love him or how much I devote myself to him.

So now it's only been two days, but it feels like two weeks. I can't imagine myself getting through this, but I'm going to give it my all. No matter how much it hurts...
But he made me relive the thing that I had been pushing myself away from.

So I've decided. Until I find someone new, and even after maybe. I won't contact him at all. Until I fall out of love...I can't. And you know what. I've decided to pick up tennis. Not even kidding. I'm going to learn and start playing it. It will be my new vice, and it's a healthy one too. My university has great indoor tennis courts, and I hope I can play at least a couple of times a week. I also just emailed the tennis instructor asking if she would give me lessons. So far I've only played by myself against a brick wall, but hopefully my dad can find some time to play with me eventually.

I'm going to go play again tomorrow morning. I think I picked a good vice.

Sorry about how long this rant was...it was long coming though...

Spoiled Lazy Days

Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to be holed up in your room and not do anything but eat chips, drink soda, watch random things on the internet, knit, or something that doesn't require that much energy? Well, today was one of those days for me. But unfortunately, it was foiled. I tried, but failed. First, there was a thunderstorm, so our power kept going out. Which meant that I had to get out of bed and reset the internet so I could watch anime...which I will get to talking about later. Then, the series ended. So I knitted(sp?). And apparently I have lost my touch at knitting because I just couldn't bring myself to do more than a couple of rows without screwing up. Anyway, then my parents got home, and I got harrassed about not mowing the lawn today and having food in my room, and not hanging the key to the car up, and blah blah blah...Then, as I was going to give my stepmom the key that she wasn't going to be using, I spilled soda all over my bed. Which sucks a lot. So now, I'm exiting my laziness because I have to change my sheets and do laundry, and I really really don't want to. And I don't care that I sound like a baby, because I'm usually not this lazy, so I feel I deserve a break.
So that's that.
Full Moon wo Sagashite"
Oh my god. One of the best anime ever. When it ended, I was completely satisfied, and it just gave me a really good feeling. I like anime more than American shows because our shows are just a jumble of shallow comedy or drama with only a surface plot line and no character development. I know I'm being a little harsh, but anime is just so much better in my opinion. And this anime had all the things that American shows lack and more. You felt a real connection to the characters, and understood their feelings and why they felt the way they did. The music was great (it pretty much had to be, as the plot revolves around the main character's wish for a career as a singer). Actually the whole thing was great. Great, great, great.
Yes, I am an anime fan. But I'm also a fan of Japanese culture and language.
Wish me luck! I'm trying to get into a residential program at my university so I can live with people who are trying to learn more about Japan and it's language. I hope they tell me soon!
OK. Back to trying to fix my bed...oh joy.
お休むなさい！
