>date a girl for over 2 years >break up >she's

A bird lives its life and drops dead in the frigid cold of winter without ever feeling sorry for itself.

I remember there was once a time when I was complaining to my girlfriend that things weren't going well for me and I felt like the universe put me at a disadvantage that stopped me from doing what I wanted. Poor background, dysfunctional family, little social circle. I was expecting to receive some sort of support from her but instead she told me that I feel sorry for myself a lot. It took me a bit aback because it seemed insensitive at the time but I realized that she was right, but not before I felt sorry for myself for feeling sorry.

Self pity really corrupts the mind. It makes you feel good for a temporary amount of time because it gives you a reason behind your suffering. It lets you feel "right" for feeling unmotivated. But it doesn't lead to anything. It's not constructive in any way. The most you're gonna do by feeling is have feelings, you gotta have action.

Youve got bigger responsibilities than to worry about your ex. You got the interview coming up and grades to keep. I know its harder done than said but you need to understand that part of your life is over, but other parts are still going. Let them crash in flames, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

Get a grip.

I hear you. I'm trying to keep the woe-is-me attitude to the minimum, hence why I've asked for help in getting over this situation because I know I have bigger things to worry about.

I find that it's hard for me to love someone, but when I do, I do so with all my heart, so this has really been a kick in the balls.

All true.
