The Mix CD

Sure it’s 18 years later, and instead of a cassette tape it’s a CD filled with MP3’s, but it still has the same effect. It’s still a really sweet gesture. I still listen to it when I want to think intensely about the person, just like I did when I was 16.  Funny how some things never change.

The art of Moving On

It’s important to mourn the relationship once it’s over. I find the best way to do this is to set aside a certain amount of time each day. However much time you need, whether it be 10 minutes or an hour. Look at pictures, journal, explore the feelings that come up. Get angry. Get sad. Be thankful. Smile. Cry. Be in it. Facing it is the only way for it to dissolve. Setting aside a certain amount of time prevents (for the most part) these feelings from popping up at all hours of the day. Once you’ve dealt with those feelings you’re free to go on with your life. You’re free to laugh with your friends about the horrible date you just went on and to smile when you meet someone who pleasantly surprises you. Life, lets make the most of it, shall we?
