"If necessary"

Did they cook that meal with sunlight?

The fumes and smoke alone would have killed people quickly

Hang in there. Keep giving it more time, this is good progress you're making already on figuring your emotions and feelings out.

Ignore anyone telling you you're "young" or whatever. Heartbreak is heartbreak, there's no winning or losing, it all just sucks.

Your heartache is just as valid as someone who's been together for 50 years.

This is how we learn, unfortunately. This is an important milestone in a lot of people's relationships, and those who aren't going through what you're going through aren't better, they're just going to have a sharper learning curve later in life when/if they do get a bad breakup. They won't know how to process it.

Think of this like a vaccine. The earlier in life you can work through this, the better prepared you'll be for future relationships.

You'll also be able to use this experience to help others, like your friends, when they're in a similar situation. Try and remember what it feels like and how miserable you feel, and don't become detached or lofty when you see others suffering like you are now. Remember how much it hurt, and understand that's what they're going through as well.

Regarding the guy: Don't reconnect, don't get back, block, etc. This is a situation where you could easily rubber band back and forth, and I've been there too. It's beyond miserable. It's a relationship that's neither enjoyable, fulfilling, or downright awful, but somewhere in between. And it'll last forever if you let it. Don't fall into that trap just because you want to feel good and reconnect and take the easy way out of this suffering. I promise, it won't last, and then the next time around will be worse, and you'll end up gaslighting each other, hating each other, but both being too afraid and unable to escape the toxicity.

It's on his head this time around.

I watched TOS and Next Gen with my father a long, long time ago when I was a little kid. I have a lot of nostalgia for the series, even though I never got into any Trek after those two.

I have a fondness for Picard, Ryker, and LaForge 🙂 , even though I haven't watched them or any other Trek since I was about 10.

Oh, I agree, it's just fun to say.

Add to that she's actually a transplant from Florida, and it starts to make sense.

If only christians would read their own book.

Cool, thank you, I think I might check that out. 🙂

Sorry to be dumb about this, but I'm not much of a trekkie. This seems like a cool arc though, what series/movie/etc. is this from? Is this also the one where I keep seeing an old LaForge pop up?

Thank you!
