Update on my craaazy/sad life!
So many things have happened in the last month that I'm completely and utterly dumbfounded. I've grown up in a lot of ways and I can't work out if it's bad or not. I've had my relationship end 3 times and re-kindled twice. It's finished now and even though it hurts like hell, I've finally accepted it's for the best. My heart will be crushed more than once in my life - obviously, and I'm far too young to be that involved with and attached to a boy. I've had arrangements with houses, units, even friends fall through so many times I'm now never, ever sure of anything. I've learnt not to depend on people, that's for sure.

One highlight.

I absolutely LOVE my job. The thing I thought I wouldn't enjoy. I work with brilliant people, and two in particular keep me entertained. I'm constantly busy, constantly cheerful, my attitude is positive ALL OF THE TIME. I get so into it that I haven't given it proper thought about what my life is going to be like without Jaryd by my side. Last night, at ally's...I lost it and ended up in tears, and shaking, and trying to figure out why he's been such a headcase. He asked me the day before we broke up to go to Melbourne with him, and we were talking about moving out. I mean, he's ended it twice, he's asked for me back twice. There are only so many times I can be shoved over and walked over before I turn around and shove back and mean it. So I'm probably giving off the impression I don't care, I'm over it. That is far, far from the case at all. I've just learnt a very important lesson, and I've got no one else to help put me back together but myself. I refuse to crumble like I did before. I feel so much stronger than I have before. I've seen him twice since we broke up and both times I've made myself so proud by how I handled things, and still am handling them. In front of him anyway.
There's only one thing I'm upset about really. The fact that, at my house, I have an envelope...full of almost 1,100 tiny colourful notes full of things about him and us. Most romantic thing I've ever done, alot of energy involved. I also got a glow in the dark pen so I could write "i love you, always" on his ceiling. I never, ever got the chance.
I'm going to miss his family so much.

Next day:
Last night Jaryd and I had a huge text session. I can't explain what it was really about, or the end result. I think we both know we still feel really strongly for each other, but I said we both didn't put in enough effort. Which is true. I kind of feel like a failure. We were so, so incredibly perfect at the start. Everyone wanted what we had. I'm glad we're still close though, we'll still have the occasional sleepover Jaryd told me. (THAT DOES NOT MEAN SEX!) A huge part of me wanted to say 'Jaryd, wipe the slate clean, let's start again.' So we can actually start all over again, go slower, do the things we should have done at the start. But I know if I ask I'm just ripping open the wounds that I'm trying SO hard to close. And it's not fair on him, nor me. Also, if he said no... I probably wouldn't be able to even talk to him again. At least this way I KNOW he still cares about me, and I like not knowing if he'd still be with me, it's makes it that little bit easier to swallow. I feel like typing all the texts up, and asking what to do, but they will probably be the last bit of his open heart I have, and I'm going to hold it close to me, and only me. I don't want to share that little peice with anyone.

Anyway, more positive note - I've found somewhere to live. It's 10mins from work, I've just got to fill in some stupid forms and wait another bloody week :( but hey, it's basically set in stone, so I'm not stressing half as much! Well, just thought I'd update my livejournal. 4.30am wake up calls and getting home at 8.30pm don't really leave me much time (I'm doing this at work, break) ahha.

Keep me posted with YOUR lives (spesh Abbey.)

Till next time, take care :)

Ally, these are some words that someone said to me when i was going through all those hassles with kristopher -
"To let go isn't to forget, not think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't winning, it isn't losing. It's not about pride, it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. It's not giving in or giving up. Letting go isn't about loss, and it's not defeat. To let go is to cherish memories, but to overcome and move on. Letting go is accepting. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up."
They helped me to realise and understand a lot of things and those words actually helped me move on. I hope, maybe they will help you in a way :)
You are strong and you already know what you mean to me, I love you and if you ever need to talk, I'm here, via internet, text msg or by calling :)

What if I really, really don't want to let myself let it go?

I know how you are feeling and where you are coming from. I also know it hurts like hell and it is really hard to do. You said you two have broken up a few times now, I know you love him, but is it really worth the pain each time?
Ally, you are such a wonderful person, I say that and I have only spent a little bit of time with you in person. You deserve someone who won't take you for granted and you deserve someone who will put the effort in, you deserve to be happy and enjoy everything :)
You may not want to let yourself let it go just yet, and that's exactly how i felt, but in the end, not letting it go, just ends up hurting more.
It doesn't mean you have to forget, you still have all those amazing memories and that little bit of his open heart and the friendship you two share :)

But, if you two really don't want to be apart and want to be together, "A huge part of me wanted to say 'Jaryd, wipe the slate clean, let's start again.'" - maybe that is what you need to do?
It is your life, you are in control of it, I am just trying to help.

:(

love you.

you sound like a really strong girl.
the one thing i've realised in life is that we all go through the same stuff. we are all born the same way yet raised with different values and morals. we all go through the same life experiences, just depends how you handle. looking back, i used to be so naive to think i'm the only one hurting so much, no one knows the pain. but everyday, i speak to friends and the same stuff happens. their boyfriend cheated, their fighting over stupid things.
your skin gets so much thicker with every battle you fight.
keeep your chin up
love hearing about your days :)
