Past to Present

Hello Everyone!

I hope your week has been a productive one.

While on this quest to find self love, I decided to revisit things that have happened to me in the past.

When I was a freshman in college embarking upon my new life as a young adult, I had one of the most devastating heartbreaks. My First Love, ended up with my Best Friend. I remember being crushed, thinking it was in some way my fault, and that everything we had was a lie, with the feeling that I would Never Love anyone again.  

Fast Foward exactly 8 years. Him and I are friends now, and I could probably hold a conversation with the ex Best Friend without having evil thoughts. Surprisingly, I don't really blame them for it; its weird but sometimes people connect. It would have been better if they brought it to my attention first, but besides that I'm perfectly fine now.

I know I thought I'd never love anyone again, but I loved my recent ex more than I've ever loved a man; Which is good because now I know the next person that grabs my heart will be loved even more. 

Okay, so that situation brings us to my present situation:

Apart of the reason I'm moving to DC is to get out of this circle surrounding my Alma Mater.  I managed to go 4 years without having one relationship at that school and BAM two months before graduation I met him.  And as time has progressed I've met more than one of his "friends", all wanting the same thing that he let slip through his hands(A good woman). 

So now I'm dealing with the same stuff I dealt with Freshman year of school, Whether or not to cross the boundaries of dating an Ex's "Friend." Don't get me wrong, I could care less what the ex thinks, but at the same time I will still be trapped in this revolving door.

What are your thoughts? Have you ever crossed the lines of dating an Ex's Friend/Associate/"Brother"
