A broken heart; the ultimate sign that you're a teenage girl. I've always heard that the worst break ups are the ones you don't see coming. I am reaching out to you all to let you know that the rumors are true, but I am also writing this for my sanity's sake and to get a little closure, so bear with me...
I'm always the one to give advice. I've helped countless people out of many bad situations because I am able to take emotions out of the equation and see what's best for people. But... how is this theory applicable when one doesn't even know anything is wrong in the first place? I don't think there is an answer to that question. It's a plain and simple fact that surprises exist and sometimes things don't pan out the way we plan.
I'll spare you all the details of what happened. I've always kept my personal life behind closed doors and I don't plan on changing that just because I am hurt. I will give you this chunk of information though, and that is long distance relationships are hard. It's hard to keep one another happy when you can only speak to each other a couple of hours a day. It's agonizing when all you need is a hug and you can't even begin to imagine what a hug from your partner feels like anymore. To whoever is reading this that does have a healthy long distance relationship, I commend you. Cherish it. Cherish the fact that you can make each other smile without even being close to each other. Cherish that feeling you get every time you get a message from that special someone. Love is a real and beautiful thing that can flourish and thrive when both people give it their all.
Josh, if you're reading this... I'm sorry that it didn't work out between us. Maybe we'll find each other again further down the road. Next summer or after college, who knows. I'm open to trying again if the option still exists later in life. In the meantime, don't be afraid to move on. No one should restrain their ambitions based on a dream that could be. Thank you for everything. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for nearly 2 years together. Thank you for all of the confidence boosts and sweet text messages. But, most of all, thank you for showing me what love is really about.
Sincerely,
the girl who knows it's all going to be okay.
