When You Realize They’ve Moved On

Without any reason or rhyme, he was gone.

When You Realize They’ve Moved On

When you realize they’ve moved on. It hurts. Imagine how heartbreaking it must be to suddenly stop talking to the person you thought you'd marry.

It’s the sharpest pain possible. When you did everything with them and have been through the absolute worst together, how could they just move on? Apparently for them, it’s quite easy. For you, not so much.

My heart was broken into a thousand pieces when he decided to leave me, but it broke even more when I realized that he’s also forgotten me and moved on. At first I felt sick to my stomach. It was like an ongoing stomach bug that didn’t want to leave me alone. I lost my appetite and when I did try to eat, I just couldn’t get myself to chew and swallow. It was an awful feeling. But then I thought to myself, was I really this heartbroken over a guy?

Sadly, yes.

When I saw him around, he actually seemed happy. Did I not make him happy while we were together? I showered him with love and laughter, yet he only remembers the problems I caused him. He cut me out of his life so abruptly that I didn’t even get the time to process what was really going on. Without any reason or rhyme, he was gone. Worst part was that he didn’t even hesitate on his decision.

I finally understood that he wouldn’t be back. I tried to focus on myself while he was doing the same. The only difference was, I couldn’t. I could only think about him while he thought of everything and everyone, except me. When someone who used to say "I love you" to you every minute of the day suddenly moves on and leaves you behind, it makes you question if they actually ever did. I can’t cope with the pain, trust me I’ve tried. It hurts knowing that I’ve been lied to, because true love never fails, and ours did.

My love had died and I literally went through all the stages: Denial- I couldn’t believe that it was happening to me. I thought my life was going on the perfect tack and this was just a bump. It wasn’t. Anger-I was so mad that he did me wrong. I knew I didn’t deserve that and I wasn’t at fault., Bargaining- This was the basic ‘Get your ex back’ move, but sadly, nothing brought him back. Depression- Never ending depression. Acceptance is yet to come.

But what we need to know is, this will all pass. We’ll somehow heal. I can’t saw how or when, but I’m sure it’ll happen. What’s actually dangerous is obsession, but that’s for a whole new day!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
