I always thought it would be sweet to see someone who hurt me on a deep emotional level suffer, but now that it's finally happened, it fills me with a concern and a desire to tell said person everything's going to be okay.

Hearts mend and move on.

What've you been wrong about?

I give up.

I know EXACTLY how you feel.

I was treated like shit by someone that I really cared about and now he is getting his heart ripped out by another girl.

I thought it would feel like sweet revenge but I honestly feel horrible for him.

Thank you.

Several misfortunes all at once have fallen in the lap of this character. I read a myspace blog in which he describes feelings that I know so well--anguish he caused me that I only wished him to one day experience.

We don't talk.

But I want to tell him I understand and it's all going to end up okay and that he's an exceedingly strong person and to just relax.

But I can't.

Sorry, I'm still bitter. Can't empathize right now.

I probably would be, if I hadn't moved on and found someone new to make me realize all the things that were wrong, and to understand why they couldn't work out. Now, I'm still annoyed about several things that were said to me, etc, but that's neither here nor there. Deep down, I want people I've cared about to succeed I guess, and to be happy.

I never knew that about myself until yesterday.

If you feel like doing it, I think you should. It shows how strong a person you have become. It's what you truly mean so why not say it?

I do talk to this person now but I try to keep my distance as much as I can. The guy did some terrible things to me but I've let all that bad shit go. He recently told me that he is trying to do right to those that he once did wrong and I believed him.

CortestheKiller said:

Wow, you really are a better person than I, because there are still a couple people out there I wish would spontaneously combust or somethin'.

It depends on the circumstance. If it's an ex boyfriend and I was hurt because he moved on...no big deal. That's a part of human nature.
If it's someone who interferred with my being employed, my well being, did damage to my reputation maliciously, etc. good riddance and no comforting coming from my direction. I'm not saying I'd throw a party at another's misfortune, but, out of sight out of mind.

JustErin said:

It's a long story I don't really want to get into here, but after these bad things were done to me, lets say... I didn't represent myself very well. I blame a large part of it on youth and inexperience and the inability to handle all the new feelings and hurts and disappointments I'd experienced. I didn't do anything that horrible, but said male said I betrayed his trust, etc.

Ehm, so I'm certain he won't want to hear out of me, and will probably be highly annoyed that I read his blogs on occasion.

Of course, if you don't like it, make 'em private.

:Shrug:

You rock!

CortestheKiller said:

I think *I* would still go for it. It would probably bother me not to.

What's the worst that can happen? You get ignored or a "fuck you, bitch" in return? At least you get to say what you feel.

JustErin said:

I don't want to interfere, really, or cause more ehm, annoyance at an annoying time.

I think it's also an issue of pride.

CortestheKiller said:

I see.

I'm still waiting for it to happen.

I'll let ya know how it feels when it does.

gemini13 said:

You're like me... wanna go combust those ppl together? We can do your peeps first.

Teacher said:

Let's go.

How's about

CortestheKiller said:

That's a great realization in my book. Some people may characterize that as a weakness. I don't. I'm the same way. I wish the best to people that have hurt me. I think my higher power and karma will take care of them and maybe they will learn from it.
