Recently my girlfriend and I had been having problems mainly because I didn’t really trust her. I heard a lot of things that I didn’t want to believe, and she denied. One night I was done with the whole thing so I went to her house to talk everything out finally. We started talking and it didn’t get anywhere, we just started arguing and then stopped talking. After 15 minutes of silence I started to get upset and asked her to just tell me what had happened. I was sitting at the foot of her bed, and she told me what she did. We were both crying and I was so angry. I just wanted to choke her and never speak to her again. My world had crumbled right then and there.

As the days went by I started to feel better and better. I went out with friends and had a great time. I saw that things weren’t over for me. I worked really hard to not fall into a depression and keep my head straight. I focused on other friends, school and work. I even worked on my guitar playing for awhile. I was doing all of this to keep my mind off of things but that soon came to an end.

When I was tuning my guitar one of the strings snapped, and a huge feeling of sorrow and disappointment came over me. All of the feelings that I felt the previous week came flooding back. All of the sadness and feelings of betrayal came back. This stupid guitar triggered be to go back to the room where I found out my girlfriend was unfaithful. I heard the words and saw the tears all over again.

After I had my meltdown I calmed down again and realized that life will go on with or without certain people or things. Everything happens for a reason and things will always get better. My relationships with everyone else have been strengthened, and I have even made a few new ones through this process.
