Actually I did have a girlfriend. We have been dating for about three years. However, this past week we mutually decided to go our seperate ways. We were both heading in different directions in life, and instead of staying together and risking a difficult break-up, we chose to split now as friends and focus on where we wanted to go in life. I think that if it weren't for my girlfriend, there were several times in the past few years that I would have sat on my ass and completed absolutely nothing.
I'm slowly trying to focus on short term goals that I can achieve to try and build some self-confidence and assurance. I'm going to make a point to spend time with my family for the holidays and try to relax and enjoy the season. I'm sure I'll come out of this strange phase soon, and I feel like I'm taking the right steps to get there. I appreciate all the comments you guys have left, and the private messages a few of you sent. It's all very uplifting, to know others are having the same troubles and how they succeeded in changing their lifestyle.
Just another reason why I'm glad I joined TFP. One of the best communities on the net.
