“Three important rules for breaking up
Don’t put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don’t make a big production
Don’t make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you’ve gone together for only a short time,
And haven’t been too serious,
There’s still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she prefers the company of others
To your exclusive company,
But if you’re honest, and direct,
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news,
The boy will respect you for your frankness,
And honestly he’ll appreciate the kind of straight forward manner
In which you told him your decision
Unless he’s a real jerk or a cry baby you’ll remain friends.”~ Popular by Nada Surf
I really wish I took more time to think about the things I say. Sometimes I stop thinking when I start feeling and things just go straight to hell. Things do not pass GO. They do not collect two hundred dollars. They go straight to hell.
Same with my actions. I really need to watch the things I do. I don’t think about it enough before I decide to act. My irrational logic seems fitting at the time.
Not too long ago I had the epiphany that I’m responsible for how I make people feel. It’s a tough thing to really grasp, to really comprehend. You can know it, but when you start feeling the conviction after you’ve made someone feel terrible, you’ve really got it.
But right now I don’t feel bad at all. I’ve said everything that needed to be said. I meant every word. Maybe I was harsh. But maybe you were dumb.
Yeah, maybe you were dumb.
But enough wasted time talking about you.
I wish other people would stop to think about the things they do before they do them.
I wish I didn’t care half as much.
Hey you,
I wish you would have been honest with me. I’m not stupid. I would have been okay if you had told me the truth, I promise. But you didn’t and now I can’t trust you. You make it really hard to not be pissed at you.
Sincerely,
Candace
Now, was that tough? No.
I really had a lot to say earlier. I had a super awesome day until 12:19 am. Which was 41 minutes ago in case anyone was curious.
Now I really don’t have a lot to say. I’m suddenly very tired.
