    Hmm it’s okay. I wanted to update that im pretty positive im not over my ex and I see myself realistically taking about 4 more months before i can move on. I would love to accelerate this process and stop being so powerless. I would be lying if i were to say i have no desire to speak or reconnect w them. And im frustrated at sounding like a broken record, cycling through these thoughts and feelings every few weeks. I just want peace.

    Dear q:

    You don’t sound like a broken record at all, not to me!

    The way I see it, your emotions need the space to fully be, not suppressed, or ignored. The need full expression, so please give your emotions about your ex (and about anything at all) the opportunity to express more!

    I think that peace will come when you express more.

    Hey! It’s been very rocky lately. I’m trying my best to deal with things myself. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment :/

    So good to read back from you so quickly, q. I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed myself this afternoon/ evening. Doubting myself about something I said to someone irl. What are you overwhelmed about at the moment..?

    Why did you doubt yourself when you said that something to that person? What was said?

    To be honest, the job i got recently wasn’t a good fit and it was completely not what I expected. I feel a bit deceived and things weren’t aligned with me and management so we both decided it’s best to part ways and find something more appropriate. So I feel like i’m back to square one. I’ve been trying to convince myself that being unemployed while trying in these times is completely normal and I shouldn’t be feeling bad about it, but it’s hard.

    At the same time, I believe my ex has returned back from overseas for a while now and the silence from her indicates that she has no interest in us anymore. I think it hurts my ego a bit because I feel like I deserve at least a message from her. I can honestly say that looking back I treated her well and earnestly and I feel disappointed that reality is what it is.

    Dear q: I will answer Thurs morning (Wed night here). That silence from her hurts.. I understand. It’s amazing how what we need so much, when it’s met with silence.. How it hurts. Be back to you in the morning.

    Dear q:

    “Why did you doubt yourself when you said that something to that person? What was said?”- I was being very nice to this older man, trying to make him feel good, but then I got scared, thinking I was trying too hard and came across weird. I wish I was milder. I wish I said less and was less invested, giving people space.

    “To be honest, the job I got recently wasn’t a good fit and it was completely not what I expected. I feel a bit deceived and things weren’t aligned with me and management so we both decided it’s best to part ways and find something more appropriate. So I feel like I’m back to square one…

    “At the same time, I believe my ex has returned back from overseas for a while now and the silence from her indicates that she has no interest in us anymore…and I feel disappointed that reality is what it is.”-

    I am sorry it wasn’t a good fit.

    What if a change in attitude alone can move you from square one to square two..

    I came across a quote today: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor Frankl.

    Freedom to choose our attitudes.. square two?
