I think it's important to not forget what we learn...and to once in a while drag those feelings out into the light and see what we've become.<br/><br/>Dunno about your X, but getting rid of the photographic evidence won't change what happened. And learning to recognize the difference between drama and an actual relationship was a huge step for me, so I think you might be too hard on yourself there. We all have to learn it.<br/><br/>Cheers. Keep it. I think it’s important to not forget what we learn…and to once in a while drag those feelings out into the light and see what we’ve become.

Dunno about your X, but getting rid of the photographic evidence won’t change what happened. And learning to recognize the difference between drama and an actual relationship was a huge step for me, so I think you might be too hard on yourself there. We all have to learn it.

Cheers.

I think what is so wierd is that I was proud of the drama because I felt like a victim. I guess now that I'm a wee bit older and hopefully wiser I see it wasn't "done" to me and I rather than being strong and angry, now I just feel regret at the role I also played at the time. lol…I don’t think that was either eloquent or thoughtful…it seemed more like some nice sounding verbal poop actually.
