By now I'm becoming annoyed at the fact that i still have feelings for my ex and that every time I see her name in print _anywhere_ (paper, computer screen, etc.) or see her picture or even hear her name spoken, my heart races. I feel everything I felt when she left me and I had hoped I'd be "moved on" by now.
My closest friend once asked me why I always feel this way when i see/hear her name. The best answer I had for him at the time - I was driving, so I couldn't think too hard about it :P - was that I still really miss her. I also fear that she's going to keep showing up and saying the things that hurt me in the end. I fear that I'm going to have to see how "happy" she is now that she's left and realize how "unhappy" I am at the same time.
People close to me have said that I need to be very careful with whatever these feelings are; they won't do me any favours if I'm to move on and meet someone new. I totally agree, but how does one simply "move on"? Is it just a waiting game and I'm being impatient? Is there some method I can use to get this out of my life?
Essentially, I'm frustrated but I don't know what I can do to move forward. </rant> *wipes brow*
As always, any comments are much appreciated.
