I hate you so much for what we did. I hate her for being out of town. I hate myself for not stopping it when my brain was screaming at me that this was a mistake. We were just suppose to be friends. We were just suppose to be there for each other when shit got hard. We were okay before it happened. We could hold hands without their being anymore meaning to it than support. But we can’t go back. We can’t change what happened. I have to lie to everyone about where I was when spent the night at your apartment. You have to lie to her so our mistake doesn’t hurt her. I hate that we were fine before it happened. That you could hug me without other thoughts. I couldn’t sleep that night next to you. You didn’t touch me after it. I needed to know that it was going to be okay. I needed to know that you didn’t just use me. That I wasn’t just something to be used. My skin lit up when you first touched me that way. I even told you before it happened that I didn’t want to screw up you and her. But I didn’t even think how it could affect us. How it could affect me. I was only worried about you. I was only worried about you but now I’m fucked up. I’m fucked up and it’s all your fault. Because you’re not mine and I can’t get you out of my head. You belong to her heart and hers to yours. I was just there when we were both broken that one day. We were there for each other and we made a mistake. We both know it was a mistake. But you told me you didn’t regret it. I was your first mistake in 2 years and you don’t regret it. I don’t regret it either. But I both wish we did regret it. If we both regretted it maybe I wouldn’t be so lost about you. I need to forget that night. But it’s hard. It’s so hard. It’s been a month but I still remember every detail of that night. Every wrong turn we made that led it where it went. I can’t forget that mistake. I don’t think I ever will.

Part of being a complete human being is the ability to hold two contradictory thoughts in your head at the same time and not explode. You are going to be a much more capable human being by experiencing this and processing your feelings. Yes, it hurts ‘cuz growing up hurts. The pain doesn’t mean you should stop growing!
Much of the pain is going to come from regret, guilt, embarrassment, and shame. These emotions are completely useless! Those are the emotions society uses to whip people until they toe the line. Humans are better than that now, but we keep passing the emotional buck to later generations. Try to let go of those feelings and not beat yourself up.
Instead of allowing those useless feelings to dominate you, you have to practice empathy. Put your heart inside of his and try to feel the world as he does. Now, put your heart inside her and try to feel the world as she does. Lastly, talk to your heart and be aware of how you feel. This is a process, not a solution. You will have to do it again and again.
Odds are this will be a small footnote in your varied and rich life. I know you must feel raw and in massive emotional upheaval right now. Try to keep a small voice inside you that takes the long view. You will learn from this and be a better person because of it. This is what humans do.
I know you can’t see this now
but time is really much stronger than any emotions
as long as you don’t “reinforce” those emotions
gradually they will fade
If I may,
I advise you to cut all contact with that person
& with “her” too
& it’s not because they are bad people
they could be the best
but this trio relationship will not work any more
& will bring all 3 of you nothing but pain & hurt
Don’t make introductions or try to explain…
just gradually take steps back
until you’re no more in contact
the effect would be that the less you see these 2 individuals & contact them
the less “reinforcement” your emotions get about that person & about that night
gradually as you cut contact completely, & time goes by, these emotions & feelings will fade away
[specially if you make a commitment to use that time in developing yourself & get busy doing good things & maybe make new friends [& I advise that they would be only girls, so that this mistake doesn’t get repeated]]
As for that mistake
yes, you might not forget it
but that is useful
because that way you learn from it & keep that lesson in mind
the mistake in & of itself as well as the lesson learnt don’t hurt,
it’s the emotions connected to that mistake & that lesson
& as I said, they will fade away
I truly hope you can understand & consider this advice
it will be difficult
maybe even “very”
specially at the beginning
but it’s doable & achievable
u’ll be okay honey <3
I'm here if at anytime you wish to talk
