My mom, in an attempt to help, spoke with him. What she fails to realize is that this did not help, it only made matters worse. Especially when whatever she said compelled him to contact me. I recognize her efforts and I appreciate the fact that I have a mom who wants to protect me. That being said, I am an adult now and with that comes certain battles (heartache especially) that you have to fight alone.

He is engaged and I am truly happy for him. He finally found someone that he wants to be with and commit to forever. That is the best thing in the world to find. (I say this with an honest heart)

And I am so proud of my family for trying to comfort me. For making sure that I know they love me and support me in this situation (and all situations). But now I need them to butt out. So that I can let go. So I can stop being reminded from them.

I want to chop my hair off (AGAIN!). Because to me that symbolizes letting go and changing. (SOMEONE PLEASE KEEP ME AWAY FROM THE SCISSORS)

In other wonderful news, I am moving next weekend! I'm really trying to hold back on my excitement-but I am excited. Jessica is going to be an amazing roommate. (yes we will have differences, but I know we are close enough that we can work anything out).

AND THE FINAL EXCITING NEWS: Rotations start in 78 days!
