Getting over someone is such an easy concept in paper but such a feat in actuality. But some would debate that we are just so affected by what we see and here that reality becomes nothing more than just a concept that we can manipulate.
Sometimes it comes to a point where we do stupid things, thinking that it actually would so something or would make even the smallest bit of sense of things. There was this one time that I was so infatuated with a guy when I was still in High School. I still haven’t (or had the strength to) accepted the feelings that I was experiencing, being that I was a late bloomer. So when I was having a hard time understanding my feelings, I tried every way possible to disappear them. I even came to a point that I wrote his name on paper, burned it, soaked it in water and flushed it out of the toilet. Did it work? Well, not really… I’m not very good with mind setting .
The process of getting over someone is a very long and tedious process, and only those who have experienced it (and chose to commit) would really understand.
First step is “The Confirmation of Reality”… wow, such big words (I could enlarge the font if you like). Actually, it’s just you, really trying to document in your head that you should really get over the other person for a number of reasons. Whether its because the guy is a jack-ass, a freeloader, not-in-to-you, a collector*, or just playing the game**. Why is this the first step, you may ask? It’s because in order you to commit to the process of getting over that person, you would need to grasp on a solid concept that you don’t need that person, he’s not in to you or maybe you were just stupid to fall for that person’s trap.
Second step is “The Game Plan”… this, in plain words, is just you deciding on what action you are willing to commit to. Should you confront? Push-away? Enemy-ize***? Pulverize****? or maybe just let go. This is crucial because not taking action will not take you anywhere (wow, that makes sense).
Third step is… Well this really depends on what happens next. Here is where we learn form our mistakes… Charge it to experience… and hopefully be able to redeem points (or ourselves). Here is where we learn that maybe the other person is not the villain that we thought that he/she is. Here is where we really get saved, by no one else but ourselves. The important thing that we should always realize is that life is too short for you to allow another person to make you stupefy***** yourself. Hopefully this helps anyone who has this dilemma… Let’s enjoy life… Let yourself enjoy your life… Because it’s yours to enjoy… Regardless if your single or not…
* – A collector is a guy/girl who is not really THAT in to you… well maybe just a little. He/she thinks you’re pretty… but just pretty enough to hang in his/her closet until he/she feels that he/she wants you around.
** – The game is neither a good thing or a bad thing. It’s just the course of finding or just “tasting” the available fish in the ocean.
*** – Enemy-ize-ing is the process of making yourself hate that person so much… so that you wold forget that you actually liked them. It serves the purpose of letting you not long for that person, but doesn’t really let you get over them. Bitter melon shake anyone?
**** – Pulverizing is the process of slowly trying to diminish any feelings that you have by just removing them from your life. A bit like pushing away, but it is more tedious because you piece-out every small memory that ties you to that person.
***** – Stupefy, just like the spell in the Harry Potter universe, stuns you with the addition of allowing you to do stupid things…Those stupid things? We’ll discuss them on another note… 😉
