I’m trying to get over a close friend right now. Two weeks ago I told her how I felt after about a 2 years of waiting, and she just wants to be friends. So I’ve been pretty depressed. And I know that she just wants to be friends, but I have this little voice in my chest that keeps giving me hope that she’ll change her mind. I need to snuff it out. In the meantime, we’ve decided to stop talking. Gone from 100 texts and a phone call every day to nothing. I can’t tell if it hurts worse talking to her and wishing for more, or not talking to her and missing her.
But it will work. Time and distance are the two biggest factors in getting over a person. But what comes first is the acceptance that it will never happen. If you don’t do that, you can leave for ten years and still be in love when you get back.
If you find out how to kill the little voice of hope, let me know. ASAP. I’m going crazy here.
Anyway, time and distance. Get some space when he goes to college, try to forget about him.
And just because everybody goes through this stuff as a teen doesn’t take away from how you feel. Don’t let anybody tell you you’re just a dumb kid.
