Where'd it All Go?

"But if you love someone and you break up, where does the love go?"
-Carrie Bradshaw.

The girl has a point. When we break up with someone or when we decide to not have a crush on them anymore, where do our feelings for that person go?

My kick-ass friend Marissa dropped all feelings for Aden, I guess the point behind that is: If there is nothing left why force it? You're just going to put yourself through a bunch of heartbreaks, and disappointments.

Then there is Maddie and Forrest...

Now I was very proud of Maddie for not following Forrest around like a little puppy during homecoming, or trying to text him everyday afterwards. That made me proud that maybe she would move on and find someone else to ask her out without breaking her heart.

However... Maddie recently dropped some knowledge on me; I asked her if she would ever go out with Forrest again if he asked her.

And she said yes.

I can't exactly remember her reasoning behind this shocking statement, but I think it was along the lines of "It's not like we were dating."

But anyways, I can rant about that topic in another blog post.

So clearly Maddie's feelings for Forrest haven't gone away. Which is a totally understandable, I didn't get over my seventh grade crush until this summer, and I have a friend who still isn't over her seventh grade crush (we both got played, C'est la vie!)

I'm not saying Maddie's being played, I doubt that girl could ever be played, she's too smart.

I'm saying that everyone has ways of getting over the people they once had feelings for. Maddie chooses not to get ride of the feelings, Marissa chooses to drop the feelings because she is strong enough on her own without some dandruff-magnet-boyfriend, and me? Well I had to spend the summer of 10th grade making out with a guy so I could get over my seventh grade crush, clearly I have problems with letting emotions go, but that doesn't matter because I got ride of them.

And that's exactly what you have to do with people you don't have in your life anymore, get ride of them, or win their sorry-ass back.
