I am exhausted with the dating game already.?

it hurts.... I know. Beleive me I do know.....but as cliche as it sounds.... time really does heal all wounds. Last year i got myself involved with my best friend, whom I fell deeply in love with. we were like brother and sister except we were lovers. It was as if she was cloned of me b/c we were so similar yet so different. And I loved her. Anyway, she took my heart and wore it in her shoe and walked all over it. And not even a month later she was with another guy, as if what we shared meant nothing. I think i sort of died at that moment....at least i felt like i did. But that's the part about life..... pain let's you know that you're not dead. Dating sucks. it seems monotonous. but it's neccessary. but before i jumped back into the dating game... i did spend some time alone. I did things that i always wanted to do or even liked to do, like travel, finish school and etc. but in my alone time I relearned who i was, b/c being w/ someoen you kind of ociate you w/ that person...so anyway, I spent about a year just being me and healling me before i jumped back into the game (so to speak), b/c i didnt want to repeat the past....and well my friend.... I am happy. Life is wonderful and though the scabbed wound is still there, but it has healed and it serves as a mere memory of the past. Yours will heal too, with time. Take care. and take it easy.
