I'll Try
I have been married twice. I still love both of my x's. You have to move on. Look at what else there is on the market. Love yourself. Be a little selfish. Take care of your self. You will always love her. There are girls I new in High School and College, I still love today. Each day is a brand new day. You will always think of her time, to time. But, there are others that can sure take your mind off them.

Listen to Mike! He's a pretty smart guy!

Unfortunately there's no off switch for loving someone.

I know that in my past experiences, I had to completely cut myself off from the person I loved in order to realise that, yes, I can survive without them, and there is more that the world has to offer.

Falling out of love is one of the hardest things, but I assure you... it gets easier with time, and you're a stronger person at the end of it. Way stronger!

What Hepled Me
I began to take notice of my situations with my ex's. Sometimes they must think of me like I do them, wondering what's going on in their life. Once and awhile I get a email from my last ex., not asking me anything but sending a random note sent to other buddies. He sends something he knows I'd be interested in. It's been eight years and I think he just wants to know I am out there and I would never send a direct email back. If I find something he would like I'd send it. The past: When I'd fall asleep and turn over that little thought of my ex would have me up nearly all night. I began saying to myself "If I'm not important to you then you sure are not important to me". But it is not fair to make new friend pay for your old relationships.

The present: I keep one eye open at all times in everything I do. Don't give your all, because they have nothing to Earn. We as people somethimes jump into a relationship for all the wrong reasons: They Look Good, I am Lonely, Pier Pressure. First offer friendship to everyone and find out if these people are Friend Material. Talk to people and see if they like the same things. We start friendships up with people that we don't have anything in common with.

No, I don't have the answers to everything, I've been around long enough to take a good look at myself. I have a way to go with my Insecure Feelings but I've learned to protect myself.
