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.
