you can still be friends, but it takes time and distance, and the friendship is different. and no, there really isn't anyone who can truly comfort you - distract you, yes, but you have to work through it by yourself, which is almost the worst part, because you feel lonelier.

might have to give that a spin soon. had completely forgotten about them.

jeff, Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:07 (fifteen years ago)

i have other people to talk with but i don't think there is anyone who can truly comfort me.

Ach yeah, this. The one person you want to turn to is the one person who's just ripped out yr insides and dropkicked them across the room :/

not very weezer/promise ring/knapsack-esque, but very helpful in a love bummer-esque way. last big break-up i had my immediate response was to take three hour baths with this on repeat:

are you an elitist or are you a brah, man? (stevie), Thursday, 28 October 2010 07:28 (fifteen years ago)

Sorry to hear you guys are facing these struggles, jeff and buzza. I usually rely on Burt Bacharach tunes and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZZngTkp54I

I just realized today that my most recent breakup didn't hit me as hard as I thought it would b/c in a lot of ways I'm still shellshocked from the one two years ago. It's pretty distressing to know how long some pains can last. It makes me question how strong of a person I am to still let my life be so deeply affected by someone who has long since moved on.

1. She and I agreed to be just friends 3 days ago. Things were too frequently turbulent, too strained, and commitment was too much of a problem.

2. We spent 3 wonderful days with each other, undefined as a couple but very much in league.

3. Tonight, I have been friend-dumped. I am not going to go into specifics, save for the fact it concerns a poetry-reading, some old university friends of mine, and my inability to deal with my emotions. I think she is a genius and I cried more than I have done at any other stage in my post-infancy life.

4. I am a fool.

5. Fuck.

6. I hope I learn.

7. I hope she and I meet again.

8. Cambridge is a poison.

9. Always fight for the one you love.

10. Self-control.

11. Don't give parasites an inch or they'll drive a wedge. Even if you have been friends with them for 5 years.

sarahel, Sunday, 7 November 2010 04:42 (fifteen years ago)

when i said i was sad that this would be the first birthday i haven't spent with you since 1996, you just made a dumb pouty face. You are almost 38 years old, you can do better than a dumb pouty face.

sarahel, Sunday, 7 November 2010 04:46 (fifteen years ago)

oh louis.

Lamp OTM, sorry you're going through this LJ, but you're a top-notch guy and even if this is the last you see of her, there's more amazing women in store for you down the road.
