Be For Real S1-EP2
Season 1: Episode 2: “Letter to my ex.”
I cried my eyes out last night because I felt unwanted. I know I’m not alone, but I feel lonely. What do the lonely do during the holiday season? For me, this year, I’m going to blog. I have been single for over a year and have dealt with over fifteen different guys since our break up. Not a single one led to any big romantic gesture. Dating is not for the weak; this shit sucks. “Being for real” is it my fault that my dating life has turned out the way it has?
I know I come off as overpowering, strong, and independent, but honestly, I’m a giant baby who likes being held. I was with my ex for so long because it was safe. I did not expect us to break up because I told myself, “who else would want me.” Yesterday, they told me I “emotionally cheated” on them. I never thought about it that way because, towards the end of our relationship, I just wanted to feel wanted. I love them with all my heart, but I never truly understood how to ultimately make our relationship work. We were both so sad and depressed about opposite situations in our lives, and I started to feel like we were neglecting our own self-help.
This past summer, we connected and started hanging out, but it was too late. This city is too small; she knows about all my different situationships, or at least the ones people shared with her. I felt so terrible for being single and doing single people things. I laugh now because how could I truly ever work on myself if I always cared about what she thought of me. I am sorry that I spent the last year mingling with guys because I have never dated any before, sue me! I always went running when something tragic happened in her life but for what. I am not saying she has not been there for me, but we are not together, so why do I feel dependent on her.
I am terrified of feeling lonely, so I hold on to these relationships that do not hold meaning or value in my life. I try to subconsciously keep people around because I do not want to feel left alone. I apologize for my selfish nature. The best way for us to heal is for me to let you go.
This episode(blog post) is dedicated to my ex. The person I have loved unconditionally for the past three years. My best friend, my partner in crime, my sunshine, it is time for us to depart. We are not healthy, and tonight was a lot for me. I do not want to argue. I just want us to separate from each other’s lives. I want to remove myself before anger consumes me. I like to love. I like to live. I like to be happy.
