Heartbroke Discount
I had someone disappoint me recently. This disappointer is not someone whom I would consider a friend but the injury to the soul of a person I truly love is where the disappointment starts. I was not the injured one yet the fact that I witnessed the heartbreak - and cried some of my own tears during this weeks long break up - makes me really, really sad . Break-ups are never easy. If they are, you weren't really in love. I don't belive that they should be easy. That being said, you never want to see a great friend in pain.
I am not sure why this person did what they did. Honestly, I don't care. When you say, "I love you," you better mean it. I do not believe that this person meant "I love you". I believe they meant that "I really like you a lot and I really like making out with you and the chemicals in my brain are telling me that it must be love".
The disappointer is young and inexperienced in life. I am not what some might consider "old" but I have a few life experiences to draw from. I learned important lessons from some of these experiences, and some I had to repeat a few times before I learned the lesson. I'm not perfect. However, I would NEVER tell someone that I loved them and then leave a note to tell them that I have moved out of the house that we share. I would NEVER make up lies about them and talk about them to some of our mutual friends.
The thing that disappoints me the most is that now my great friend might be emotionally damaged to the point that any future healthy relationship might be extremely difficult. A heart was put on the line here. A heart that has not been opened to anyone at this level in any previous relationship. I am guessing that this heart will not want to be broken again and therefore will guard itself extremely carefully. It's a real shame.
