I love that my best friend assumes it's *that* easy. She, of all people, should know it's not. She's been through worse heartbreak then I have, and at a younger age. Why can't she just understand that I need to heal in my own time and not have someone bring it up in every conversation? The first boy I ever loved dumped me out of the blue, the day after valentine's day, on our 8 month anniversary. I can totally get over this in 4 months. Ok, so I admit I thought I could, but I was lying to myself. I guess I thought it would...help? No, I should have [did] know that it would inevitably make things much, much worse for myself. There are very few times that the phrase "just don't think about it" actually works. I mean seriously, if I said, "Don't think about a pink elephant." What would you do, try not to think of a pink elephant, right, but in the end, you'll just think about a pink elephant. So, how is "just not thinking" about my ex going to help things?  It's not. It causes things like this. Long, pointless blog entries that won't solve or help anything.
