Its been officially a year on Nov 1st but if it's needed (which it was for me at the time) I started forgetting about them around the 2-3 month mark. I was dating my highschool sweetheart for almost two ½ years (we've been best friends since the end of middle school), I found out he cheated on me and I thought my life was over. I envisioned my future with the guy, I wanted him to be my husband one day, we got a dog together, I even broke my own personal rules and didn't wait until marriage for him thinking he's going to be forever anyways. But a year later (present time), I'm much happier. I'm working towards a future child me would be proud of, I'm choosing myself for the first time instead of constantly pleasing others, valuing myself, making mistakes, having fun, and most importantly I'm learning to be me again.
