foreverxbroken

there is nothing a random stranger could say to you to make you feel better....however, sometimes it helps to hear other peoples problems, this way you can see that others have at least lived thru similar crap.

acouple years ago i was engaged. my fiance and i had been living together for several years and one day she told me that she had gotten drunk the night befor and made out with a friend of mine. she assured me it was just a drunk thing and she was just tellling me cuz it was kinda weird/funny. i think of my self as pretty open minded and i felt confident inour relationsip and i believed her at her word so when she told me it was nothing to worry about - i didnt. acouple months later i went away on tour for seven weeks. while i was gone she moved out and broke up with me over the phone. she started seeing my friend as well as several other people. i wont go into the details but needless to say i was devistated. on top of the heartach, when i got back from tour i had two weeks to find a place to live. now im not saying that any of this is worse or better than your own personal situation. we all have our own version of hell to live thru.
forward to present ..
my exgirlfriend and i are still friends now. we both realize that what we thought might have been right for one of us - doesnt mean its always whats right for both of us. but it sure did suck figuring that out!

just remember - this to, shall pass

i spoke on the phone with my grandmother tonight. she is 80+ and living in Tel Aviv, Israel. She was born in Poland to a family of 9 kids. The Nazi's killed all but two and her parents and her cousins and her friends and then she was put into a work camp where she escaped and fled through the Russian Siberia to a Russian version of the work camp. She was bald, lost four toes and wighed 80lbs. And ther in that camp, in that state, she met my grandfather and fell in love. But more importantly...she found her peace. It sounds crazy, but sometimes it takes dispair to understand blessed. My grandmother wakes up every day and thanks god for letting her share another on this planet...
