Ending a relationship is never an easy thing. Sometimes it's harder than others, but if you can get into a really intense relationship that lasts any length of time and then, when things fall apart, just walk away with no regrets, you've likely got something wrong with you.

Ending a relationship can often be a very relieving thing. Especially when you've known for a while that it's not something that's going to last long-term. It's fun while it lasts, but eventually you realize that unless something/someone changes drastically, it's going to have to end soon.

I think the hardest thing to deal with about the end of this particular relationship is that, for the first time in several years, I'm having to define myself as just that - myself. I'm so used to thinking of myself in the context of having someone there, and suddenly I just...don't. I don't even have any particular prospects lined up - everyone I've been spending time with recently is either already involved with someone or not interested (or I'm not interested in them). While I won't say that there isn't anybody I'm attracted to, there's certainly nobody I'm planning on pursuing anytime soon...

I think it's a good thing that I'm learning to define myself. It just means that I'm sort of at loose ends for a while...here's hoping that I adjust, eventually.

I had to learn to be happy, both with myself, and by myself, before I even wanted another relationship.

This of course is from my unique set of experiences, so I don't know how much help it will be.

(oh, btw, I bought a pack of big league chew the other day, reminded me of you :p)

I've given a lot of thought to the happy-with-myself-by-myself bit - I was working on that a lot through the summer. The problem was, I ended up hitting the other extreme - when Ryan came up to visit and I suddenly had no by-myself time, I started freaking out and getting really bitchy.

As with everything in life, I'm trying to find a balance...

Hey Rose, Adam here. Sorry to hear about this...I thought I'd try to cheer you up some, so I found these lyrics on a forum I frequent, and thought they were funny. Since I haven't seen you online for a while, I thought I'd post them here.
Frosty the Demon
Was hungry for some souls
With a corncob pipe and a crooked nose
And two eyes like glowing coals

Frosty the Demon
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he took their lives that day

There must have been some magic
In that ancient tome they found
For when they spilled that virgin blood
He began to dance around

Frosty the Demon
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
As he burned them endlessly

Frosty the Demon
Knew that he was hot that day
So he said "do run
And I'll have some fun
Now before you melt away"

Down to the village
With a pitchfork in his hand
Running here and there
All around the square
Slaying children was his plan

He hunted'm down
In every street of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment then
To make the cop's heart stop

Frosty the Demon
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved one fist
Saying to those he missed
"I'll be back for YOU some day"

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty, wow
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
He's after you right now.

Hope that made you smile :)
