So I got my heart broken, and I've been bitching about it all day, but it made me take a long look at myself, and I finally admitted a lot of things that I was denying without realizing it for the past few years, and it made me see that I need to make a lot of changes in my life.

I just texted the girl I've been heartbroken over and thanked her for breaking it off and saying she'd rather be friends.

Maybe things will work out between us one day when we're both more mature, but a relationship as we are now would've ended disastrously.

And now I know how lucky I am, because where most other girls would've ghosted a long time ago or given some half-assed excuse, or just been flat out mean she decided to stick around and be honest with me, and anything else would've just led to more toxic thinking.

Feeling oddly optimistic all of a sudden... I went through the stages of death acceptance in the last 24 hours just because of getting friendzoned, and now I'm sad and happy at the same time because I got to meet potentially the love of my life, and I'm going to become a better person now, but also because I might not ever get to be with her in the way I would've liked.
