Love is friendship set on fire

I had a girlfriend who I broke up with just over a year ago now. It wasn't a mutual split, so I decided to go my own way and start a fresh. You see, this girl was one of those people who had a lot of difficulty seeing things from another person's point of view, she was quite an attention seeker, and she wasn't happy if she didn't get her own way.

My answer to this? If the break-up is mutual, then by all means retain a friendship, as long as its stable. If the break-up isn't mutual, and dependant on the circumstances, then fuckin move on dude! When we broke up, she wanted to be friends. But i was like "Whoa, just a minute! You've fucked me around and acted all sorry for something you could have controlled but no, you decide to play around with the whole situation don't you? Think you can pull off all that shit and get away with it? Fuckin got another thing coming!"

I realised sumthin straight away when we broke up, i wanted to go my own way, not because I couldnt handle any of it, or had a fuckin fanny about whoever they'd date next. It was because it dawned on me that she was just a burden on me. She dragged me down. She made my life less enjoyable. She was a ball and chain.

Ever since then my life's been great, made a big group of new, much better friends, met a girl who I dated who was a far much better person than my ex. we were an item for a while, and then we split over a mutual understanding, and we're still friends, and we've even said that we may get back together some day, but not right now. Plus, my life has constantly been on the up, been able to do so much more, have a much bigger and better social life, and generally finding life a breeze overall!

The lesson? Don't remain attached to those who just drag you down, otherwise you'll hit a downward spiral. Focus on the good things, those that make everything worthwhile, give them all of your attention, and things will just get better.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
