Thank you, both of you. Being a part of this community really does help. I can't vent anywhere else anymore, it hurts the people I love and they don't deserve that.

But I'm okay.
This is definitely the hardest break up I've had, and I've been through about 8 now, not to include the massive crushes I've had that ended in embarrassing rejection. But I'm not trying to mope right now.

I know this relationship is over for good. We're still friends though I know a bit of distance is an important step to maintaining our friendship at this point in time. I'm learning to accept that.

It hurts like hell but I've got my head above water and I'm in control for the first time in a long time. It's a great feeling.

Thank you again for the support and kind words. <3<3
