I am writing this because I cannot really talk to anyone anymore without frustrating them or bothering them, and I really need to let this out.
So it’s been almost six months since my breakup and I’m honestly struggling still. Some days are better than others and some are worse than others. But it is what it is. I do miss her every day, and not to mention I think about her too. I still worry about her, and with the “backstreet boys reunion tour” it makes me worry about her even more. I know she is probably well and fine but I can’t help it.
When she said that she didn’t want to be in contact with me a month after the breakup I was devastated, but I respected what she wanted and didn’t contact her. She then contacted me again after two months and I was both scared and overjoyed. When she contacted me on Facebook I didn’t really know what to do, so I asked a few of my friends and a lot of them told me not to respond otherwise I will hurt myself, and some told me that if you do to be careful too. I decided to respond because I didn’t want to ignore someone I deeply care about.
My Mother did something that honestly I cannot even forgive to this day, and that was to contact my ex and tell her not to contact me again. When I found out I was devastated, and still clearly am. I honestly cannot forgive her for this, but I know she did it as so I wouldn’t hurt myself even further. Still doesn’t give the right to do that. I have been looking for places to move to (and I have three in mind) after furlough is loosened even more. I also want to move away, and leave this country to get away from my mother, and my family here. I have applied for the US green card diversity lottery so maybe I could win haha, but I doubt it.
Before that message was sent to her (which I have still not read) I was going to send her my animal crossing new horizons tote bag as I wasn’t going to use it. We agreed to it. Anyways I sent the tote bag after the message and wrote two letters to her in the package. One was to enjoy the tote bag and other was something to remember me by. Truth be told I wasn’t expecting a response but then again I don’t know because I haven’t touched my nintendo switch, phone or laptop. I am too scared to. I would love for her to message me but then again I am too afraid to check.
Ever since my Mother sent the message to her I haven’t looked at nor touched my switch or phone, and I am so desperately wanting to play Animal Crossing again. I haven’t even been able to check out the new updates which sucks. I haven’t checked my phone because I am honestly a coward lol.
Actually this breakup has been really difficult for me because there are a lot of things I struggle to do or listen because it reminds me of her. For example I cannot listen to a lot of my music that I enjoy such as Dance Gavin Dance (and they have a new album coming out this year), Blink 182, Clever Girl and many more. But with that being said I have recently discovered a Jazz/Rock/Metal instrumental band called Arch Echo which are pretty neat. I struggle to sleep too.
Thankfully I do not drink excessively. But I have gotten into wine now which is nice.
At the end of the day all I want is for her to be happy, and if she’s happy then I won’t intrude on that happiness ever. I want you to have all the happiness in the world, and I wish I could give it to you if I could. Thank you for the memories.
With all that being said I have been trying to progress myself too. I had a few interviews with JP Morgan for an apprenticeship and I made it pass 3/4 of the way there. Passed the telephone interview, passed their tests and passed their team-based activites too. Unfortunately I did not pass the insight evening but oh well. It is what it is.
I applied to university (to study finance) and have been accepted to 3 out of the 5 I chose. Actually the last university that offered me a place I had a Skype interview with them and it went really well. The interview lasted 1.5 hours which is nice. I applied to university because of mainly my ex, and seeing her work ethic was really inspiring to me. Seeing her focus and study so often honestly made me so proud of her, and how much she cared about her studies, and I wish to do the same. Thank you. You made this my desire for me to succeed.
I hope you are well and I hope to hear from you in the future if possible. I miss you very much.
