A Roller Coaster

The first year is the hardest one to go through. Everything You see, hear, touch, smell or taste reminds You of someone related to the situation that happened. You are limited. You don’t  want anyone to know what happened. So You sit quietly…
No one really notices that You’re not talking about a certain person. So You go through a roller coaster of emotions all by yourself.
The second year is somewhere in the middle of nowhere. You still don’t talk about it, but people start asking questions. They start remembering how long has it been since You’ve said that name out loud. Is everything okay between you two? Did something happen? -they ask. So You don’t know if You should tell them the truth or lie to them. You decide to lie. You decide to let people think that You’re living the happiest life for the past year and a half, and that that person is still in your life even though it’s gone forever. You struggle with answers. People ask You what’s new in that person’s life, and You have no clue. So You try to remember a story that someone told You, but since You’re so good with that person You have to know the smallest detail about them. The sad thing is You used to know, but now You don’t. You have to make something up.
The third year is a little bit more easier, You don’t care anymore. It is what it is.
Shit happens.
You can talk about it now. First, You start answering on those questions with short answers. With a simple I don’t know. Than, You decide to tell your closest ones the whole story, the real one. What happened, How did You feel, Why didn’t You talk about it.. Everything. It’s easier now. After all, it’s been three years. Believe it or not, that’s not a small number of days. You retell that story in detail 1-2-3-4 times. And >>voila<< You don’t feel anything anymore. You’re done. You’ve survived.
The fourth year is …..
The fourth year is the worst one.
If You survive this one You can call yourself a queen. This year You can expect a lot of tears because everything will reopen again. You won’t feel pain because that person is slowly getting back in your life, but because You know you’re going to get hurt again and You don’t want to go through these four years ever again.
It took me four years to be okay.
What You have to know is that it doesn’t stop. You’ll go on a roller coaster of emotions over and over again in life. But that’s the price we all have to pay. We have to look at the good days in those four years and live life the way we want to. People come and go,.. That’s the way it is.
I can assure You, there are hundreds of good days, You just have to look closer.
Maybe there is a lot for You to see. Who knows?
With love,
