Thornbirds18 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The Independence Day is the day after tomorrow and our office will be closed tomorrow. Many people I know will travel and I feel like the last person being left here in this relatively new place. I moved here last year and still haven't established solid friendship with people. Broke up two months ago and here have been two holidays already! Last time was the Memorial Day and I didn't feel much pain because we had a cookout in a friend's house. Tired of working and want to take some time to relax. But does it mean I'll end up being alone? Ironically my ex might be spending the long weekend with his new found love. Now when I think about it it's just like some random thoughts slipping around and then disappear, without leaving a trace. I DON'T cry when I think that they might be together, amazing! I decided not to hold any hope of him coming back and I do feel much better after I had a good cry to say goodbye to him. Good signs? Anyhow, just wonder about those who just experienced breakup but have to be alone during this holiday weekend, what are you going to do to lift your spirits a little bit? I asked about every friend on facebook to see if they want to hang out, but not sure if I can get any. It's hard to learn to be happy alone again, but I'm trying... Link to comment
hers Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 What about seeing if there are any local 4th of July events going on? Like picnics or bbqs or fireworks displays? Link to comment
Thornbirds18 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just don't want to go to these events alone. I'm still not strong enough to see couples and people hanging all together while I'm alone... Link to comment
hers Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I know how you feel. I've been single for a year now and hate seeing couples at grocery stores and all of that b/c it just reminds me that i'm single! Link to comment
Thornbirds18 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 I was single for three years while in the graduate school and I even didn't notice any other couples because I was content being single! But now because everything is so fresh I just couldn't handle anything like that. Maybe I'll stay at home with the dogs if nobody has time to hang out with me...I plan to borrow lots of videos to fill my time. Link to comment
Effervescent Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I know this is going to sound bad, but I spent Canada Day (the equivalent of Independence Day) cleaning and packing. I didn't feel like watching fireworks and seeing all the happy families and couples at the events. Link to comment

My families are far away and I'll miss them and my ex too much! Just have to have my fingers crossed to find some friends to hang out, if not, home and the dog park! Link to comment
hers Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 At least you hav your dogs! My dog got me through a few break ups. Theyr'e amazing animals! Link to comment
Thornbirds18 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 I agree from head to toe that dogs are just amazing and faithful companions! I couldn't imagine how much a wreck I would have been if without them. They're much better than many human beings because they love you back if you love them. They're my babies! Link to comment
odile Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 At least the holiday (Independence Day) is appropriately named should you care to make a fun time of it on your own! Link to comment
Thornbirds18 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 At least the holiday (Independence Day) is appropriately named should you care to make a fun time of it on your own! Great point! It's about independence and liberation away from the past. I'll try to enjoy myself and relax! Link to comment
