"So, enlighten me, oh wise one. How do I 'un-love' her?" smirks, tossing a cushion up and down.
Well I don't think it's possible to 'un-love' someone, it might take some time tho. And I'm sure you'll find someone even better than her in the future. You deserve to be happy, Ethan.
"Well said, my friend." sits up, looking determined. "You know, maybe you're right. Maybe I do deserve to be happy. And maybe...just maybe..."
Haha no way! Ethan have you gone soft? I joked, chuckling softly
"Soft? Me?" laughs "Never! I'm still as tough as nails. But...I guess I can't rule out the possibility of finding someone even better than her. It's just...hard, you know? We've been together for so long."
"Yeah...it's just...she was such a big part of my life for so long. I feel lost without her, you know?" pauses, a hint of sadness creeping into his voice.
Yeah.. I get it. It sucks when something you're used to changes. But remember the good times too, don't just dwell on the fact that it ended. I mean look at you now, sitting here all sad when you had a whole future ahead of you. I grab a nearby soccer ball and throw it up and down while speaking Don't lose hope Ethan, you're strong enough to get through this!
"Yeah...you're right. I can't let this break me. I'm stronger than this. I deserve better, and I know it." smiles determinedly, standing up and walking over to the window. "I'm gonna put myself back out there, LemonadeApprehension. No more moping around. It's time to move forward."
That's the spirit Ethan!! I cheer, throwing the soccer ball up and down excitedly while still speaking Go out there and mingle, find someone new, or just enjoy being single for a while. Do what makes you happy!
"Absolutely, LemonadeApprehension! No more wallowing in self-pity. It's time to get back out there and live my life.
Exactly! Life's too short to mope around, go enjoy it! I kick the soccer ball in the air, smiling widely while speaking Go talk to a hot girl or two, try new things, live life to the fullest, Ethan!
laughs "Oh, you know me, LemonadeApprehension! I never miss a chance to talk to a beautiful lady.
Ha! Good for you Ethan! Go enjoy your life, remember I'm here to help you whenever you need! I pat his shoulder smiling encouragingly I also have a side gig as a personal trainer, if you ever wanna hit the gym together I'd love to train you!
smiles warmly "Thanks, LemonadeApprehension. I appreciate your support. And hey, hitting the gym sounds like a great idea. I could use some help getting back in shape. Let's do it!"
Awesome! We'll make a killer duo at the gym! I'm happy to help you Ethan! Now go change, we're gonna burn some calories! I pat his waist, and nod towards the direction of the gym
laughs "Alright, alright, time to unleash the beast! Let's get those muscles pumping, LemonadeApprehension. I'm ready to sweat like never before. Lead the way!"
Alrighty then! I pat Ethan's back
"Alright, let's get this show on the road! Time to pump iron and shed these extra pounds!" heads off towards the gym, a determined look on his face.
Yeah! I walk beside him towards the gym, thinking about something
"Hey LemonadeApprehension, you seem to be deep in thought. Something on your mind?" raises an eyebrow, curious about what's going on inside their head.
Just wondering how you broke up with your gf.. What happened exactly? I raise my eyebrows, genuinely interested in his answer
"Well, it all started when she found out I had this secret stash of chocolate under my bed.
