Love, heartbreak, death

Love, heartbreak, death

I was in love. I still am. I love a girl that isn’t ready for a relationship. So what do I do? I act like a retard and just wait until she’s ready. And wait. And wait. And wait.

A friend of mine took over my texting with the girl today. He let me send everything myself but typed up everything for me. He’s a great friend and like me, just doesn’t want to see friends get hurt. And I’ve been hurting. I actually got hurt several times. And he knew that I would continue to get hurt and wouldn’t ever stop it.

See, the girl of my dreams isn’t interested in meeting me in person. So I’ve had a non-in-person relationship for months with this girl. I’ve been in love with her for a while and have been hoping for her to decide to meet me in person. The problem is that I’ve been hoping. And while I’m hoping, I’ve giving her great emotional support as she has been doing even greater for me.

According to my friends (yes, I’m admitting that I have more than one friend) she would never meet with me. I kept doubting my friends, but they were right. I kept arguing with them, but they were right and I was wrong. I don’t care that I was wrong, I was just sad that they were right.

So now I’m sitting here with heartbreak. It’s really painful. I’ve nearly cut off my thumb, been in multiple car accidents, was struck by a car while on a bicycle, had a doctor remove skin from an arm without giving me novocaine, and had many other bad physical pains in my life. None of them hurt like this. I’m sure that it will go away, but for now, I think that death might come before heartbreak goes away.

I will always love you Lori.

Michael, you are right. There is no pain greater than a broken heart. Maybe Lori will change her mind. Maybe she’s just afraid and she’ll come around and meet you.
I just wanted to say that when you use the word retard it also causes me and my family great pain. I know it might be hard to understand but I’m the mom of a lovely kid who people might want to call a “retard.” Maybe one day people will stop the hurt by using that word, and Lori will meet you and we’ll all be happy.
Thanks for listening.

Mary,

Thank you for your words of encouragement and support. I’ll continue to hope that Lori changes her mind and will be happy to share whatever happens in regards to my life.

As for the term “retard” (which I defined here), it’s only a negative connotation if you allow it to be.

I’ll post about the why I use the word “retard” next, sharing a bit about me.

As for your kid, if your kid is delaying something than the term is appropriate, if he’s learning impaired than the term is not accurate.

Thanks for reading and sharing.
