I think I've began to accept the fact that I'l never completely get over colin, and this is half the battle of getting over something I think. Time will do the rest of the work, and as for me, I know its going to be a tough journey but I'l get there. I know it sounds ridiculous some 18 year old girl getting so working up about a relationship that lasted 4 months, but I let him in, and we really connected.
Although it comes and goes, the time where I just think and think and analyse what went on with me and colin and I get upset and cry, but these moments are becoming less and less frequent, and I'm feeling much better now. I need those wee moments where I break down because I'm letting the pain out, and I need to let go.
I can't keep forcing myself to believe we'll get together again soem day, even though he's said this is possible when he is ready for a relationship. At first I thought knowing this was a good thing but now I think its holding me back. I need to take some time and just figure out what I want, and what I need and if those two things can co-exist. I once read that you can't really be with someone until you can be with yourself, and I think thats true, so maybe I should use this time and really figure myself out.
I'm aware that this blog is pretty much me spewing on a page, but just needed to get my thoughts out somehow, perhaps its my attempt to udnerstand them? I don't know really!

Hope is sometimes a good thing, but you hoping for him to come back is just hurting yourself for no reason.

Yes, you need to grieve and let the pain out but you have to try to move on. It is hard when you have really connected with someone but the path to being "over" someone is as long as it is - if that makes sense.
(note to self - how about taking your own advice and stopping the giving it to others)
