This may sound cynical but we have to learn to disassociate people from the things we do with them. It’s really easy to confuse loving someone and loving the lifestyle we have with them. It’s also really easy to think we miss someone when really we just miss the things we used to do with them. It seems special and unique to that person when we make memories and traditions and we’ve all been down the road where we find ourselves thinking I don’t know how I can live without our midnight cvs runs for hot tamales in our pajamas and all our stupid traditions and how will I find someone who will watch 6 straight hours of The Office with me while I cry or crash my brothers frat parties with me or talk to me all night on the phone to keep me awake when I’m driving. But in reality, we could do those same things with someone else and be happier.
