It's cliche, but in certain situations, it's vital to listen to your heart.
I ended a 2 1/2 year relationship just a couple weeks ago, and it was one of the toughest occasions in my life. For her, it was a surprise; for me, I was lava building up inside a volcano that reached its limit. I had realized a while ago that I was only thinking that I still loved her, finally I listened to my heart, which told me I was completely unhappy and not in love with her anymore. I then searched for everything inside of me to hopefully seize any kind of buried treasure, but it was lost at sea.
There was a response to my last post about the ability to listen to relationships, and by that I meant listen to your heart which holds the relationship. Love is the foundation of any relationship, and without the ground, the building falls through.
I've had this time to be absolutely sure of my decision, and each day I am feeling a sense of freedom from all of the pressure built up over the last couple years.
I still completely care for her, and I'll always think about her, but my heart told me the truth and for that I am thankful.
I was listening to "Untitled" by Interpol, and my interpretation of this song best fit my situation, so for that here it is:

I'm sorry that you are going through this pain. At least you are secure in your decision and finding a way to move on. Since you are so keen and able to listen to your heart, I'm sure you will find love again and more importantly be able to know what true love, not just infactuation or comfort, is.
ReplyDeletewow... I'm surprised that you shared that with all of us, considering that we're practically strangers, but why not? Breaking up sucks, but being in a bad relationship sucks more. I think it's important to be with someone who doesn't make you compromise what you want out of love. Although your ex is/was probably devastated, you have to make decisions that will ultimately make YOU happy, and I respect the fact that you were brave enough to do that.
ReplyDeleteHere I am reading your blog nine days later, and I have to say I too not as recent as you have, ended a long lasting relationship. Many variables attract a person to another where the bond becomes love, and this was the case for me. However even though me and this particular female were going out the Love began to fail and all hell came from the situation.I use to think me and this girl would last for a LOOOOOOOOONG time, but I too, just like you realized I wasnt happy in this relationship where issues and problems only could arise from my sometimes pretentious mistakes.. Im glad you relaized and are at some subtle peace with your decision.
