A relationship is a very long conversation. Don’t date people you don’t like talking to.

Y'all aren't progressive. Y'all are just mean and angry. But because you don't want to confront these feelings and handle the real forces that upset you, y'all get unjustifiably upset at innocent online strangers. Other people have become your outlet. A way to let off emotional

Heartbreak, if we let it, can be a deeply profound gift. The art of receiving the gift, initially, does not lie in trying to fix the heartbreak. The art is to hold the heartbreak as a koan. A koan is a tool used in Zen Buddhism where a paradoxical statement is meditated upon to help us transcend the conceptual prisons we inhabit. Heartbreak can serve this function more powerfully than almost anything in a regular person's life. This is because heartbreak is one of the closest experiences to death we can experience whilst still alive. There are often very real parts of our psyche that truly believe that the objects of their fascination are of life and death importance. They can feel that they literally *need* a specific person / thing / experience to survive and thrive. So when we experience permanent separation from that person / thing / experience, those parts can feel like the conditions for their survival are being severed. This is where the sense of paradox emerges. The part feels that the conditions for their survival have been terminated, and yet here they are, alive and surviving. Dwelling in that paradox is where the gift of heartbreak emerges. If we let it, it can help those parts within us to begin their journey towards awakening to the fact that we are always already entirely good, whole and worthy. That our basic nature is fundamentally good and no external object is required to complete it. Heartbreak serves as a forcing function for this journey, because if the heartbreak is sufficiently deep and thorough, there is simply no way to resolve it without coming to this awakening. In this way, heartbreak is always pointing us towards our deepest wisdom in one of the strongest, most emotionally compelling ways possible. I would go as far as to say that it is an obstacle to someone's spiritual growth if they somehow always get all the things they think they need to be happy. It robs them of one of life's great spiritual teachers. Often they will have to wait until they have sufficient exposure to more literal death, disease, and signs of mortality to learn the lesson heartbreak offers. Of course it would be glib to suggest that heartbreak's lessons are easy lesson to learn. They can be some of the most painful lessons going. But anyone who can hold the paradoxes of their heartbreak in painful, patient awareness without trying to fix them will eventually unwrap a gift of unspeakable preciousness.

If you had to take public transport to see your partner or maybe someone you’re dating and the journey was less than 1hr30mins. Would you consider that as long distance dating ? I find people’s definition of long distance very interesting tbh.

I've reached that stage with Chelsea where it no longer affects my mood. If they like, they should lose till the end of the season. If they don't care why should I 😂
