Don’t Look Down

Things are pretty much going back to normal. Well -- as normal as it can get after everything that's gone on. Its like a hurricane -- you can continue on but it will take a while for things to feel the way they once did.
I've realized people just confuse "getting over" something with "moving on". That's what I've been trying to explain. I was mixing the two up as well. I kept saying "I'm over it" when I'm clearly not. I've been moving on with myself and my personal issues. That doesn't necessarily mean that I'm over it. I'll probably never get over it but I can still move on.
When someone you know dies, you're heartbroken and miserable. It stays that way for a long time -- longer for some people than others. But, eventually, you'll come to accept it and move on. That doesn't mean that you don't care about the person anymore, or don't care that they're gone, or that you forget about them. You'll always think about it. It just means that you can think about more positive things and continue with your life.
There aren't many situations in life that you can look back on and say you're over it.
Getting Over means its completely forgotten.
Moving On means to get past it and continue on. Its still in your thoughts but it doesn't need to take over.

This whole this is going to sound lame...but...
I've added the Honesty Box back onto my Facebook page and -- as stupid and lame as this sounds -- its actually a huge step in returning back to normal. Bringing it back means that I can officially forget about getting harassing messages from XOXO. She's gone...or at least her messages are. I probably talk to her everyday and not even realize it...
but...
I'm definitely over that.
