So…about 3 weeks ago, Luis broke up with me. I won’t go into it too much but he basically said I was too emotional…but the truth was…he just wanted to be with someone else. Least, thats what it all boils down to because he’s already dating someone else and its his coworker! but anyways…
Im doing great though. I’m going to college in Spring hopefully with Financial Aid…I’m looking for a second job and I made friends with Lauren! It turns out the only reason I hated her…was Luis and vice versa. But she’s a totally awesome friend and she’s very supportive and helpful and plain kick ass. Shes really helped me cope with the breakup and help me to realize that I need to be me again and I don’t need him and also that he’s a major tool lol With the help of my dearest friends and my Family I came to realize that…Luis does care for me I guess…but he isn’t in love with me, nor does he feel how I do for him. If he did in fact love me how he claims, he wouldn’t already be with someone else, and none of this would be happening. He was just using me in every which way. But its okay, because now I know better.
When he left me though I went through drastic changes. I stopped eating, I cut myself, I started smoking and drinking and even tried weed, I cried constantly, I was having nightmares and anxiety attacks even while I was at work…I was wasting away. In less than 3 weeks I went from 130lbs to 115lbs…My size 4 American Eagle pants, that were brand spanking new, no longer fit me. They’re too big and those are the smallest jeans I own. It came to the point where my Mother actually cried in front of me and was begging me to get over him. She said to me “I know it’s hard but you need to forget him. The heart breaks, Raquel, I know. But how do you think I would feel if I lost you? That would kill me. Look at yourself, you’re not in the right state of mine because of him and Im worried about your health. Look at how much weight you’ve lost…you’re dying in front of me.” and then that same day my best friend, Diego told me “Whats wrong with you? I want my friend back.” and thats when I realized this Luis bullshit needed to finally end. So I stopped crying. I stopped thinking about him and blocked any means of communication with him.
It will never change that I love Luis, of course not. But I know I can live without him, and that…I deserve better. So I’m okay. And all my memories of him are slowly being replaced with outings with my friends. I still get lonely, and I think of him sometimes but they’re never happy thoughts. So I’ve got nothing left of him. I’m basically already over him :/
But anyways! Today I went to J.Timothy’s with Bryan and Lauren. I was really intimidated though because the food there is quite expensive! There is like nothing under $8…and I’m super cheap so it was really hard to decide on food…but Bryan…oh dear Bryan told me “Just order something” which means he’s paying…I hate it. I feel terrible! I’m not his girlfriend, I’m just a friend. He shouldn’t be paying for me especially since we’ve only known each other for a few weeks…Even so I still couldn’t decide so Lauren basically did for me…The Monterey Ranch Chicken Sandwich, which was delicious despite the fact that it was a grilled chicken..which I don’t like. But still yummy! But I couldn’t eat it all..since I haven’t been eating much lately there is very little I can fit. After that we went bowling~ we all did relatively bad the first game. But the second game…I did ungodly well for myself…I broke 100 by the 7th frame and by the 10th, though I messed it up copletely I ended up getting a score of 122…my best ever. Lauren was upset because the game wasn’t going well for her…which was strange. She’s usually a fantastic bowler but today I guess Bryan’s unhappiness, along with my unnecessary comment, was making her bowl less spectacularly…but she made the 10th frame count! 2 Strikes
She ended with a score of…112 I think…
I got home a little while ago. My mom asked me how it felt to be going out and living my life…
I told her it feels great.
