It's always good to not feel alone.
I'm sure many people go through this sort of thing; i just don't meet them or talk to them, etc.

We had some good times, and once I really, truly accepted it was over I was able to think about those times and not feel the sad or hurt. I knew then that even if I'd had the chance I would never go back to that. It's in the past. I'm not the boy I was in those days, and I sincerely doubt she's the same girl. I don't Google her, or wonder what she's up to, or who she's with. She doesn't often come up in conversation these days, and certainly not with Magpie. I'm not ashamed of those times, or trying to hide them. It's just not relevant, and it's not really something I can share. It's a keepsake, but it has no impact on my current relationship.

If such a day ever comes for me, i'm reasonably sure i'll be old enough not to be able to get what i really (still) want out of a relationship. i suppose i'll just continue doing whatever it is i'm doing until something happens. maybe then i'll have gotten over my ex.

Not enough mind-altering substances in the world for that one.
besides, drinking heavily hurts my brain in the morning. i need that brain for work. an interesting point about where i am, though: i've made lots and lots of new friends since i moved away from where my ex lived. my life is much different from what it was, so perhaps that's a good thing.
anyways, another day of work beckons. thanks again to everyone for the advice!
