people can be real pricks sometimes
amanda, everything happens for a reason.
i broke up with my boyfriend about 6 months ago, and being single is probably the best thing that has ever happen to me (socially of course)
you can do what you want, whenever you want to. You can write a song, instead of dwelling on a phone call.
You can read a great book, instead of fighting with him.
You can get close with ur girls again, you know what they say: girlies before assholes (well, they really don't say that)
Don't dwell on the past, put all of that effort into a bright open future. Its a blank canvas to do whatever you want to it.
