Hello everyone!!
Its been a few months since I last checked in so I thought I would stop by and let you all know how I am doing.

I am still single and I love it. I had a few opportunities for possible relationships but I did not want to get involved in anything serious because I have been enjoying my single time. I have been very occupied with my life for once. It feels good to be able to make plans without ever having to keep your partner in mind. No compromising needed.

I am very busy with martial arts, work, summer class, and an internship. I have been hanging out with friends and just having a good time overall. I can see now what everyone was telling me about taking some time to myself and learning how to be alone. As I look back I cannot believe some of my behavior and my irrational emotions. It was a big learning experience and I have grown much as a person.

Now, I will not lie. Once in a while I will become sad and remember the good times. But I have learned to acknowledge the emotions when they happen and worked through them quickly so I can move on with my day. We still see each other once in a while. We had lunch once and talked a few times at a party. We both still show a lot respect for each other and have learned to become distant friends. She has a boyfriend now that she is happy with.


So to everyone with a broken heart. It does get better with time. Enjoy life and take your time to heal. Hope everyone is doing well. Thank you again to all those who helped.

I am besides myself with your very positive update, it's a great Fathers Day gift I can cherish because I love good endings.

Great news. And that's the way life goes.
All the best to you and good luck!

It's even a better ending than "I found someone else I am now happy with"! Now that I am here more often, I get used to see the same names on posts, then some just disappear for a while (like I did) and come back when they make "mistakes" on the way (just like I did, hehe) it's rare to have news like this one and we are all proud of you :)

Thanks for the update, it gives me (and plenty of others I'm sure) hope and inspiration! Thank you!

I read your story, very similar to what I am going through now. I'm glad to hear you're doing well, and everything is going good for you. I hope soon I can get to where you are at.

I am so busy with life that I rarely now have the opportunity to go online but I please do not hesitate to ask me questions regarding my experience and I will gladly help as much as I can. This place has helped a lot and I have learned much about relationships.

Since I am a psychology major I have involved myself into reading about positive psychology (motivation, attitudes, etc... ) It feels corny to say but I read motivational books, listen to motivational cd's, read books on attitudes, positivity and in general try to have a positive outlook. It has worked wonders for my confidence and happiness.

Any books/CD's or whatever you would like to recommend?

Yes, look up Zig Ziglar. He is a great motivational speaker and has written "See You at the Top." He also has his own website and podcast. He is very old school and preaches some Christian values. Now I am not very religious and I still get a lot from his talks and books. Another great book is Positivity by Barbara Fredrickson. Finally there is a book called Excellence. I cannot remember the authors name but I will let you know once I figure it out.
