Tommy,
It's not that she's unfortunate to have you, it's because that's all she knows of love. I'm trying to do the best of my ability to do the baby steps because we both know we can't expect a miracle overnight. I heard a thing today on the radio that said, "why let anyone from your past bring you down, do you want them to know that they succeeded ruining your love life after them?" And when I heard that, I stopped and thought, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm letting them win. I like the idea of counting how many times he smiles at me, and compliments me, I think I will do that. And I really liked the idea of thinking back when he smiled at me for the first time, or kissed me for the first time. Thank you so much for your ideas and your own personal reflections. Give me hope, Give me strength cause everyone knows it's the hardest thing to do, erase memories that help build you stronger.
