Starting fresh

[MoonClock]

Has there ever come a moment in your life when you felt the need to start over again and distance yourself from the past?

I'll explain my case: Currently, I'm a college student, undeclared and feeling directionless. My days have been spent droning away on facebook, tumblr, and obsessing over a girl that I'm now coming to terms with the fact that I'll never get her. In fact, much of my time was spent looking at her facebook, what she was doing, and frankly, I wanted to meet her in person badly. Today I decided to let go of that and cut off all contact with her. As a result, I felt an overwhelming need for a clean slate and the desire to work on my own future without taking her in to consideration.

Now I don't really know how I'll spend my time, but as a student in university, I suppose the best way would be on my studies, doing some much needed introspection, and figuring out where I'll place myself in this crazy world. Ideally I'm trying to detach myself from my fantasy world and increase my productivity. I realize this type of change does not occur overnight, but I'm willing to wait through the process.

Anyway, has this type of thing ever happened with any of you? If so, how did you feel about it, and did it work to your benefit?

I need to move constantly, my best friends tend to be on the internet, so if I move I can meet new people I might like and also keep my internet friends, plus having connections in other places can come in handy if you're on the run.

Woah woah woah, wait a second. You were obsessing over a girl that you met online and never met in person? What the fuck is wrong with you? Stop being weird, you socially retarded fuck.

It's happened twice to me, the first was unintentionally when I was stolen from my country at 8/9 years old, the second was actually a few months ago when my adopted parents got in an accident. I cut off all connections to everyone I've ever known quit my job for a new one and now I work the night shift at a 24/7 store and met this 14/15 year old boy that I plan to defile later on. It's actually the second best thing that's ever happened to me.

First of all, fuck you.

Secondly, she lived relatively close to me. Of course I'd obsess, you daft pile of shit.

I don't think I follow. Why don't you just talk to her?
If you fuck up and get rejected, THEN you start a clean slate.

It's the feeling that rejection is inevitable, that no matter what, it cannot and will not happen. I don't need to talk to her to find that out.

Henceforth, clean slate.

Why are we not talking about this now?
