Happy.
I’ve honestly come to that point where I’m happy and that happiness doesn’t depend on someone else.
You know what?
If feels really good. Good to not wake up and wonder if someone else was going to make you have a good or bad day. Good to remember what things truly make me happy and doing them for reasons I want to.
4 months ago I made a decision that did ultimately, change my life. I made the choice to potentionally give up everything for a chance with Peter. In the end it turned out I really did end up giving up everything, but some of that was my own choice. I don’t talk to either Holly or Peter anymore, in part because I need to not talk to them. With Holly I’m always afraid of what’s going to happen. Because she has a tendency to make things change, for the worse or better. I didn’t want that to happen. If things went beter, I wanted it to be because I WANTED it to get beter.
With Peter… I can’t talk to him. To get over him, to not care about not seeing him for weeks on end… I just… erased him. All his stuff is buried in misc. places around my apt, his bracelet and ring are… (on the floor I think. o.O) I even took him off my buddy list. That was one advantage I had with Holly, was that since she moved out, she was just gone. Peter… was just there one day and gone the next.
In both situation with both endings – one I knew was coming and one I didn’t know was, I wouldn’t change the way they happened. With Holly it could never really be sudden. It would’ve been like waking up with my left leg missing. I needed to be slowly edged into it. And sadly unlike Holly, I did have a week to prepare for what was coming. I had a day to say goodbye.
Peter… Peter was more an addiction. Something you needed to quit cold turkey and just never see again. Granted at some point I probably will, and I have an odd feeling that it would be realy weird for a moment before we didn’t care. A month ago that wouldn’t have been true. But after all this time, I’ve just… not stopped caring, but just… I don’t know. I do care that he completely abandoned us for his other friends. I don’t care that he could be screwing every one of them. I’m more hurt that I lost his friendship then that I lost /him/ now.
This time in Maine, as I mentioned… has been refreshing. It’s been… perfect really. Nobody bugs me to do things I don’t want to, I can wake up and sleep whenever I want, spend the entire day poring over PHP and SQL all I want…. and it doesn’t matter. It’s truly been a vacation.
So 4 months after everything started, I’ve finally accepted losing everything… and sort of never felt more together. Plus, I still have Daniel
