Post 213 | Moving Forward

So some crazy stuff went down the past few weeks... And I don't mean crazy like blow your mind crazy, but I mean crazy as in a huge emotional roller coaster crazy.

I am not quite ready to tell the interent at large why yet, but last Monday Tasha and I broke up...

Last Wednesday Tasha and I got back together.

There was, well, it wasn't really a fight more of a long discussion about stuff and at the end of it all I thought we needed a break, specifically me because I had a lot to think about. Wednesday morning at work I had this unbelievable moment of clarity with I knew being with her is what was right for me.

We both decided that no matter what our situation might be, our love is enough to hold us together. We love each other so much that we got past our differences and are moving forward happily and wonderfully.

I still have a lot to think about and I still figuring out exactly who I am, but I do know right now I do not want to lose Tasha and I love her. It is weird to think that we let things fall apart like that and everything. Us with our sad boxes of relationship stuffs and what have you.

But we are doing well now. I have had two amazing friends amongst this madness (Rebecca and Erin), and they have been there to talk to me and comfort me and just help me figure stuff out.

When I am ready to tell the entire story, I will, I just need to work through it myself first. I know this blog is supposed to be complete honesty from me but I feel a little self censorship is needed in this case, if you are one of my friends and really wants to know what is going on and what happened you should contact me on Facebook or something. I would prefer a one-on-one conversation with you than anything else.

Other than that not much is going on (ironic statement, eh?). Tasha has wanted to get in contact with some of her old friends that kind of drifted away for various reasons, so we were thinking about having a bonfire and inviting just a bunch of people and seeing what happens, but we'll see. It is all kind of up in the air right now. I wouldn't mind being in contact with some of them again too, I miss some of them and they would have helped Tasha during last week with processing the whole thing.

Well, summer keeps moving fast, which suuuuuuucks, but we are trying to make the most of it and hang with friends and do our thing. We'll hopefully be going to a friend's cabin sometime soon and hopefully some other ridiculous stuff. Just keep it real everyone, know that I am doing well and am accepting more and more everyday who I am and what that means for me. Thanks for reading, please comment if you want to!

EDIT: So I am working on a very truthful post, it's gunna take me a while to really get it to where I want it and how I want it to sound. I think I need to do it though, just so I can keep moving forward and accept everything about myself and about my life right now. Ok. Yeah, so look for that eventually. If you wanna know just message me on Facebook and I'll happily talk to you.

Post 212 | Go With the Flow

So being at work with a lot of mindless tasks to take care of, it gives me a lot of time to think about different aspects of my life. There are some that I love and some that I hate but one in particular that keeps coming to mind.

I have been in a relationship for almost three years.

In that time I have aged from 17 to 20, started college, gained and lost friends, made good and bad decisions, learned a lot, studied a lot, changed my hair, learned to dress better, but I also can't help but think I have missed out on some things...

There are some things in life that someone can only really experience if they are single. Ya know? I am happy in my relationship and I am fairly certain I am in love with her, but how can I know for sure? She is the only person I have ever been in a relationship with. The only person I have ever gone out on a date with. The only person I have kissed, etc, etc. Compared to her who has been in a relationship before.

I think it has created this weird postion for me to be in. I want to still be with her and everything but every once and a while I wonder what it would be like to date someone else even though I don't really want to. Does that make sense? I think it does...

It might be coming off as ass-holeish of me to say but I think I am making a fair point.

At this point I am just going with the flow. I want to stay with Tasha but I don't think I am afraid of breaking up with her if that ever happened. I used to be really afraid of it but thinking so much lately has made me realized no matter what happens it will all be ok. Just going with the flow. Whatever happens, happens, and there is nothing I can really do to stop it.

I love Tasha and I am staying with her. That doesn't mean I can't wonder, right? Ok, I thought so. Keep it real everyone, thanks for reading. If you ever wanna talk to me or anything shoot me an email: jneuman13@gmail.com
