the most interesting thing i've read today

It's this... http://www.salon.com/2013/07/23/rejection_is_more_powerful_than_you_think/


this lends perspective to why it was especially hard for me to deal with the complete rejection of someone who i erroneously believed loved me and rejected me for reasons that weren't even true. just what he thought to be true.

and saying this is not meant to be more whining after all this time, BUT i also read recently about how each time you tell the story of something that happens to you, the more it becomes just a story of something that happened and less of you still living it.

yes. i'm STILL trying to heal. sue me.

it's just that in all other ways these days, i'm pretty darn happy. but if you bring up this subject and this person, i still feel a searing sense of sadness laced with white-hot intense anger. so while it's not helpful for my composure to talk outloud about it now, it is helpful for my sense of well being for me to express it outloud here sometimes.

anyway, i thought this article quite interesting. it makes me feel less like a complete wimp.
