This is off topic but...:
very well said newbie!I like that--what doesnt kill u only makes u stronger! don't worry, even if i've heard it all before I dont mind hearing it again coz yes, any piece of advice makes me feel stronnggerrrrrr. I also realized that at a time like this that's when u realize who your friends are, those who are willing to stand by your side and be there for u when u need them. Coz unfortunately there were some that seemed to good to hear about me crying on the phone about my problems--they'll get theirs someday! anyway It's kinda ironic coz when he took me to one of their functions (one of the last things we went to as a couple) I met this girl and we hit it off as friends--although we were kinda intoxicated and when i was like "i made a friend!" he attributed it to the fact that we were drunk, that's why we kept talking and even exchanged numbers. But then days after, we kept in touch and now we talk online,email and by phone. He was surprised when i told him we were actually like, FRIENDS now and in fact she was the one who gave me the most advice and was there for me when he dumped me. So it was an ironic blessing in a way, that stuff happen for a reason...he took me to their dance so I can meet this girl who will soon help me through a breakup with him...how weird, but hey, i gained friends when i lost a boyfriend...
Anyway I found that shopping is not only good for breakup blues but summertime blues too! So if u dont have a car (like my sorry a**)get your sisters or friends who have one and hit the mall!
