It's seen in quite a few movies. The idea of a person, being vulnerable and choosing to take a step of support in order to better themselves and take their friends off their backs. It's the scene in the movie where a recovering addict of whatever form steps up out of a dark circle and says " Hi. My name is [insert name] and I'm an [insert addiction]. I am recovering."This is how I began the first entry to my blog, the website you are now reading entitled The Dumpee Diaires. This blog was something I honestly never expected to turn out the way it did, but I suppose every story has a beginning, right?
I'll tell you this much. Hi. My name is Jen.
Here's mine.
I started this blog a few days after the breakup I thought was the one person who was going to change my life, on March 26, 2009.
He was smart and funny. He treated me with respect and gave me something to look forward to. For once, I was happy.
I thought he was going to be the guy that was going to pull me through everything. I'd begun to plan my future with him in mind. I was going to go to Texas State, have him visiting me often, write letters endlessly, text him every hour and go home when I could. I'd been planning to have him there for the big milestones of my senior year. He and I were going to be by each other's sides at the band trip to California. Without me realizing it, I had given him a platform of grand importance in my life. Then, on March 23, 2009, after promising me forever, he decided forever had been seen. He ended it and he never looked back.
For some reason, I placed this guy on a higher pedastal than he deserved. Maybe I put to much energy into a relationship that was destined to be just another high school falsity. Whatever the case, we broke up and I took it hard. After one failed relationship after another, I was angry and determined to figure things out. As such, I decided to document my life after the breakup. I wasn't expecting it to turn into a story. Hell, I didn't even bother looking for anything permanent. I just set out to write and give myself something to bid the time it took to get my thoughts together.
Since then, the rest is here for you to see. This blog has turned out to become a story that I feel like we can all relate to on a certain level. We've all been rejected at one form or another. We've all lost our minds trying to figure things out. I think that deep within every single person is one univeral bond that comes from a story that we write as things go along. From the day I've started this blog, I've never looked back and I hope that someone finds worth in my words. The Dumpee Diaries is a blog that not only helped me realize how lucky I am not to be with him anymore but also an adventure of my life that has propelled me into the next chapters of relaity.
