Losing the “Us”    Losingthe “Us” When an emotional injury takes place, The body begins a process As natural as the healing of a physical wound. Let the process happen. Trust that nature will do the healing. Know that the pain will pass, and, when it passes, you will be stronger, happier, more sensitive and aware. “So does this mean you want to break up?” Iasked softly, hoping my question would go unanswered. That is how it all began,or I guess, ended. The months the two of us had shared were some of thehappiest, hardest and most educational months I ever experienced. It seemedimpossible that this was the last conversation we would have as Ben and I, thecouple. I had ignored the fact that the majority ofhigh-school relationships do not last. I guess, in the back of my mind, Ialways thought that Ben was the only boy I would ever have these feelings for,that he was the only boy who would ever understand me. I never took intoaccount that the last month of our relationship was one of the hardest times Ihad ever gone through. It just stopped being fun. It stopped being about us andstarted to be about everything that surrounded him and me. The next day at school I tried lookinggreat to make him see what he had given up. I even tried to talk to him like myheart wasn’t aching, like I was better off and even happier. But inside Ilooked at him and could only see all the love and time I had given and all thehurt I had received. I walked around school in a complete daze and cried myselfto sleep every night. He was the only thing I thought about, dreamt about andtalked about. I drove my friends crazy by constantly analyzing the situation.How could it have ended? I found my other half when I was with him. I felt likesomething had been torn from me, like I was no longer whole. One night, I couldn’t stand it. I gave upand called him. I didn’t last five minutes before I broke down and startedcrying. I told him I had forgotten how to be by myself, and that I needed him.I didn’t know how to be myself without Ben. We had been through so muchtogether that I could not imagine getting through this on my own. He told methat he would always care for me, but that it had become impossible to love me. For weeks I couldn’t see him with otherboys without thinking that they were dating. I threw myself at different guys. I don’t know at exactly what point thingsstarted to change. I began spending time with my friends. I joined clubs andmade after-school plans. I was doing all I could to stay busy. Slowly I began to have fun by myself,without Ben. Beyond that, I discovered things I liked doing, ways I could be ofhelp. I lent a sympathetic ear to others who were hurting. I began to smile and, finally, to laughagain. Whole days would pass without a thought of Ben. I would see him atschool and wave. I was not ready to be friends with him. I was still healing.But I know I didn’t cover a big wound with a Band-Aid and forget about it. Ilet the wound heal itself and felt enough pain to know that I had truly caredfor him. In my rebound stage, I pursued a lot ofguys. Once I healed, they pursued me. The wonderful thing that happened wasthat I learned how to be a whole person, not half a couple. I’m in a newrelationship now, and eventually we will probably break up, and it will behard, and I will cry and feel just as much, if not more, pain. But I had to askmyself if never caring for someone so that I wouldn’t feel that hurt was worthit. I know now that the famous quote is true. “Better to have loved and lostthan never to have loved at all.” Because no matter what, loving yourself canheal anything.
【感触】有这样一些话,是要说给自己听... (转) 1、有些事,我们明知道是错的,也要去坚持,因为不甘心;有些人,我们明知道是爱的,也要去放弃,因为没结局;有时候,我们明知道没路了,却还在前行,因为习惯了。   2、以为蒙上了眼睛,就可以看不见这个世界;以为捂住了耳朵,就可以听不到所有的烦恼;以为脚步停了下来,心就可以不再远行;以为我需要的爱情,只是一个拥抱。   3、那些已经犯过的错误,有一些是因为来不及,有一些是因为刻意躲避,更多的时候是茫然地站到了一边。我们就这样错了一次又一次,却从不晓得从中汲取教训,做一些反省。   4、你不知道我在想你,是因为你不爱我,我明明知道你不想我,却还爱你,是因为我太傻。也许有时候,逃避不是因为害怕去面对什么,而是在等待什么。   5、很多人,因为寂寞而错爱了一人,但更多的人,因为错爱一人,而寂寞一生。我们可以彼此相爱,却注定了无法相守。不是我不够爱你,只是我不敢肯定,这爱,是不是最正确的。   6、人最大的困难是认识自己,最容易的也是认识自己。很多时候,我们认不清自己,只因为我们把自己放在了一个错误的位置,给了自己一个错觉。所以,不怕前路坎坷,只怕从一开始就走错了方向。   7、生活在一个城市里,或者爱一个人,又或者做某件事,时间久了,就会觉得厌倦,就会有一种想要逃离的冲动。也许不是厌倦了这个城市、爱的人、坚持的事,只是给不了自己坚持下去的勇气。   8、多少次又多少次,回忆把生活划成一个圈,而我们在原地转了无数次,无法解脱。总是希望回到最初相识的地点,如果能够再一次选择的话,以为可以爱得更单纯。 我觉得很触动心灵,谁要是能翻成英文就好了
