I recently (about a month ago, now) broke up with my girlfriend of three years, and I came on the boards after some time away due to a curiosity at the vague memory of posting something or other about it here when we began going out. I don’t have any of the conventional social medias (Instagram, Facebook, etc), so looking through my entire post history of four years was a rather novel experience for me, and one that I imagine FB IG users are regularily accustomed to. It was both pretty funny (as well as minorly embarrassing), looking through every dumb comment or joke I made here from the age of 15, but also quite cool, and I was reminded of many things I had since forgotten. I did eventually locate the post I had set out to find, and it’s awfully strange to get inside my own head like that. Turns out, in the end, I was wrong–she wasn’t “three levels above me,” and since that three-year-old-comment I’ve (in large part) overcome my self-esteem issues and feelings of inadequacy, and evolved in other ways as well. Things may change, of course, but, one month after breaking off the relationship with her (it still feels weird to call her my EX-Girlfriend), I feel surprisingly at peace and content with the present status of my life.
Just thought i’d share, for anyone interested! (That includes you, future me!)
