Tired of having this Gemini on the brain...:(

Hey guys, I'm posting this here because I need encouragement and advice from my fellow bulls 🙂



I moved down here to Houston a little over three months ago, away from where the Gem is going to school. I'm in pharmacy school, and I love this university! I've developed a great circle of friends, both in my field of study and in others. I have a better social life (going to football games, fun and PG house parties, staying active) than I've ever had before, better than at my last university where I met the Gem. Even still, I'm swamped with schoolwork, and I have a job as well that keeps me busy.

My life is always moving, and I don't often have alone time, at least until bedtime. I know it's when I have alone time that I start reminiscing about him. That was my problem over the summer, and I believed that starting afresh in Houston with pharmacy school and keeping busy would end my uninhibited thoughts about him. With all these things going on in my life, it's frustrating that he still manages to intermittently trickle into my mind. I don't know why or how it's possible. A couple of my friends have suggested that I start dating around in an effort to forget about him. However, the idea of dating around just sounds like work, and I'm aware that it's not within my capacity right now to put forth that kind of effort. Plus, I don't much like the idea of spending time with a guy for the purpose of forgetting about someone else. I don't think that would be fair to him.

Any ideas on what I can do to leave this guy in the past? Maybe the problem is that I don't want to leave him in the past...maybe? It's been nearly a year since I've even seen him, and a couple of months since we last had any conversation via text. How did you move on from your previous relationships/flings?

@TaurusesAreWeird : Thanks so much for this advice 🙂 I really appreciate it.
