Hi I have read your posts from afar, I hope you don't mind me chiming in. Now what? ................ Now you take some time for you without having to worry about anyone else, enjoy yourself and enjoy life because that is when the right person always comes along when you least expect it. Good luck I know it's hard after 2 years but keep the good memories and keep your chin up. Who knows what's around the corner.

It is going to be hard at first, but trust me, you will learn to love it! Just keep putting yourself out there and have fun with your friends. You will meet a guy who knows how lucky he is to have you and treats you accordingly! It's always hard in the beginning, though! Just stay stong and trust yourself that you did the right thing.

"don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"
Now what?
do what you want to do in your life. learn a instrument, focus for college, career goals, sports, hangout with dear friends, make new friends, buy another cham to make yourself busier.....
Never look for love, love finds you.....when you're busy things happen, trust me. might as well have fun.
2 years is a long time, but you're still young, plenty of time to build up a new one.
appreciate what you had from your past relationship, and learn from it for your future one.
keep your heart open, don't turn bitter.
do that and you'll get through,
take it day by day

You'll be fine. It will hurt for awhile, but the fact that it was a "good terms" breakup is positive. As someone who had her first true love move to another state then call and say "No, I don't want you to come with me after all" I can say that "good terms" pretty much has to be easier.
What will you do now? You'll spend time with your reptiles, you'll pursue your goal of owning a reptile store, you'll move forward. You'll eventually meet someone you find interesting.
You were not defined by your boyfriend. We all knew you and cared for you without even knowing he existed.
To us, you haven't changed one bit.

With a bit of time you will appreciate all the "ME" time that you have. I'm happily married, but I still love taking a book with me and spending the day shopping, at the movies, eating dinner, whatever. You don't have to ask what anyone else wants to do/see/eat, etc. YOU get to decide those things and I think that's what helps you grow as a person. YOU need to learn how to live in your own skin, and it will boost your self-confidence, which you need right now. We're all here for you, not for Derek, but for you, and don't forget that Good luck, it'll be rough but there's probably no one on the forum who doesn't understand what you're going through right now.

another cham would be nice...a nice colorful panther...too bad im poor
i already do what i want...im not a big go out and getter, i like enjoying the simple pleasures, and i do. i just hate being so lonely! grr -.-honestly, if we didnt end on good terms, i dont think i would have been able to handle it. but it was a mutual agreement that its too much for right now between college, and work, and everything else....at first he started crying and said he didnt wanna break up with me, but i actually had to convince him it was a good thing. and he swore he would come back when he had his fill of college life and "fall in love with me again". i dont count on it, but the thought was nice.
Time for ME time. Remember we are all here for you when you have a bad day and I dare say you will have some. This is week one of your new life.
lol im glad i have the forums. i just wish i could meet some of the people here in real life

You are rare. Not many girls like reptiles. A lot of guys do, that being said, go to a reptile EXPO and let people know you are available! Plus I'm sure you are better at meeting people than you think. I don't know if you work, but coworkers are a great way to make friends.

ehh, finding guys that like reptiles in my area isnt too hard. but finding guys my age that arent complete jerks that like reptiles is a different story. i have a few reptile guy friends, but they are 26+ in age...i dont mind older guys, but there is a limit where it just becomes uncomfortable. and the closest reptile expo is 4 hours away..cept for the pittsburgh one, but i keep being told its soo small its not worth it....and yes, i do work, by myself. i run a store in the mall and we only have one employee on at a time, and 5 employess total. and my school, im in a class of 5 for 18 months. i dont have many opportunities to meet people lol.
