I&#8217;ve gone through this once before and it wasn&#8217;t time that resolved it, it was enough growth to recognize where my heart was sabotaging me. There&#8217;s some degree of sadness in that itself.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to seeing someone, and not being able two, are two separate parts of me in conflict. They don&#8217;t meet on even ground and I think the battles between them involve a lot of miscommunication.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve mostly given up on trying to make sense of where I am. I&#8217;d say I&#8217;ve lost hope, but I create hope where there is none, to my own detriment.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly, I still keep myself distracted by going out drinking with friends, or physical tasks like a bide ride or mowing the lawn. Sometimes I have the energy to focus my feelings at emphasizing, despite it hurting a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I still don&#8217;t know where to go from here, but generally forward. I still feel like I&#8217;ve lost something incredibly meaningful and valuable to me, and I&#8217;m troubled by the reality that I couldn&#8217;t do anything to prevent it. <\/p>\n<p>I do my best to stay away from the computer after last call, my will power is understandably weaker then, and I tend to be invasive in ways that I don&#8217;t feel are appropriate any longer. I keep hoping to be proved wrong. Silly heart, being you.<\/p>\n<p>I feel misunderstood a bit, and at times I feel like if I could only explain myself better it would make some kind of a difference. I feel like talking about all of this is the most important thing to do, but that&#8217;s only important to me, which isn&#8217;t enough.<\/p>\n<p>On one hand I look back at where my feelings were a little while ago, and think about feeling that way today, still wanting to date. I can&#8217;t imagine it, I feel like so much has changed. Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just rambling now. It&#8217;s going to be so hard going through this again, especially feeling the way I do now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My mind was elsewhere most of the day, but I did feel good about the work I accomplished.
