12. I did some serious journal stuff.
13. And I did some more.
14. I hung out with that crush, got over it, and realized something interesting: that I don’t like how I’ve left things with my last sweetie.
15. So I wrote my ex and said, “I’m ready to be friends if you are,” which felt very healing.
16. Perhaps most importantly, when I was all weepy and unhappy about this, I blogged about it, and doing so, writing it down and throwing it out into the universe, I did feel much better. Unlike some past weepiness, I didn’t stew about it for ages and have lingering worrying. I just put it out there, and it was okay.
17. I talked to my ex and we’re becoming friends again. This is community (or our friendship will be part of that anyway), but clearing out our past is also making room for my future romance. It’s hard to let somebody else in if I’m still unresolved and upset about somebody from my past.
