Its been a while since i have posted here so i thought id give an update/ personal progress journal type log. Maybe its for my own personal gain or maybe someone could benefit from this thread.
I already know I'm going to hear it from Jophil and Kailex about this, but I still miss my ex everyday. i think about her daily but the difference now than with 3 months ago is I feel like i got my personality back.
I have always taken pride in being that fun/ funny guy to be around but after the breakup I felt like i lost my personality. I didnt feel like being funny, or engaging in conversations with strangers. Around work i just minded my own business, but now I feel like its back. Im constantly cracking jokes, having a good time with others and just feel great. I have gone NC with the ex since 4th of july and it does help. I hear she has a bf now and it really gave me some closure as well. I remember an awesome quote from Swingers that always stuck with me that hit the mark:
"How long did it take for you to get over it?"
"you know how it is man, you wake up one day and it hurts a little bit less, then you wake up one day and it doesnt hurt at all.....the funny thing is...you almost miss the pain...for the same reason you missed her, because youve lived with it."
Even though i think about her, i no longer hurt or worry about her. you wake up every day and it hurts less. sometimes i catch myself thinking, im not hurting at all and i dont give a f- about whats going on with her, then that "funny" thing happens. I started missing the fact I dont miss her anymore. It kind of puts me into panic mode.
Things I have done in the past 3 months to help me get over it.
ive joined a muay thai class
worked out at the gym like a mofo
work full-time
go to college full-time
moved into an awesome place with a new roommate
Ive become like Jim Carrey in Yes Man recently as well too. Anytime a friend says, "hey you want to go to xxx" ive said yes. Just last week i went to an nfl exhibition game, 2 mlb games, 2 concerts, went to the bars , and this weekend going to a cabin in the snow.
I guess the point in all this is Im extemely busy. The fact Ive been busy i havnt had time to dwell on negative things for long. My body is moving. My main concern now is there is not enough time in the day to do all the things i want. Some days i can not work out and i get pissed.
Girls have been on the backburner. I really liked reading the thread on here about taking breaks from women. I have been doing that because lack of time, and now they are rolling in. Nothing great, bunch of 6's and 7's. I have a feeling the 8's and 9's are around the corner.
While i was going through training at work, my trainer told me a phrase that he would mutter to himself when time gets tough, and i thought it was relevant in my life right now. Ive been so busy with my personal improvement that i havnt been able to see my family. After hearing the phrase i felt it meant o much that i thought about getting it tattooed on my body. Still might do it. Here is the phrase:
Work hard
Be cool
The hardship is only temporary
