I don’t know any Seventh-day Adventists who are encouraged to keep journals. Never heard of such a thing.

And...I just broke off a long term relationship and I’m sooo not ready for Christmas. sniff

Yeah that’s why it seemed weird to me. I just figured 12 year old girls were the only section of the population that did things like that.

That and I’ve also never met many Seventh Day Adventists outside of my grandparents...or any at all to be honest.

Sorry to hear that, just love those you have all the more and enjoy every minute of the season. Well, ok, not every minute, shed a few tears but look to the future, now’s your chance to move ahead. Remember YOU are the center of the universe, make what you want of it.

Best wishes.

Sorry to hear of the breaking off of a long term relationship it is so hard at any time of the year but a Christmas and Easter which is often thought of as a time for families and loved ones to spend time together extra hard.

I hope that you manage to get some peace and as best as you can enjoy the season and have some friends or family that can lift your spirits.

I am sorry about the ending of a relationship that was obviously very special to you. Even when we KNOW in our mind it is for the best.. oh my ... the heart & soul do grieve the loss of the friendship (as imperfect as it might be), the hopeful thoughts of the future, and the wonderful memories of good times.

I dont know how old you are but I am about the oldest here that chimes in at the singles thread & I can guarantee you that things do NOT change as you age. The SAME issues -— the SAME emotions -—the SAME frustrations -— the SAME hurt is always present.. whether you are in your teens, 20s , 40s or 60s.

I am glad you have a tender heart that grieves..I feel very sorry for the calloused hardened folks I know.. they are to be pitied. Healing takes time & gives growth as I am pretty sure you know from reading your posts.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I just broke off a short-term relationship because I figured out that she (maybe even he or it) was just someone typing on a computer and trying to suck me into the Nigerian bank scam. She seemed to be the one I had always wanted, the one who might have made all of the years of loneliness not so bad. As it turned out, she was just a con artist going through another con.
