How to get over your ex of 5 years?

Give yourself time to grieve, time to be angry, time to be yourself outside of a relationship. Hang out with friends. Have the foods you like. Do some of the things your ex wasn’t into. Five years is longer than lots of marriages, so don’t expect it to be like flipping a switch. Some people can do that, others can’t. Take care of yourself, and best wishes.

I feel so embarrassed when I’m bubbling words

I feel so embarrassed when I'm bubbling words because I'm nervous. Since English is my second language. I feel so bad when I make a fool of myself when speaking with natives.
I feel so embarrassed when I’m bubbling words because I’m nervous. Since English is my second language. I feel so bad when I make a fool of myself when speaking with natives.

Keep in mind that a) English is remarkably difficult, owing to irregular spellings, thousands of words derived from other languages, and speech full of contractions & idioms that don’t necessarily appear in standard written English, and b) those native speakers probably don’t have native fluency in another language. Learning a language is all about forging ahead through errors. Please keep making errors! It’s how you’ll improve. (BTW… I think you might have meant “bungling,” not “bubbling,” but I really like the sound of bubbling!)

Plan it out into manageable chunks of time, and create rewards for getting through each step. It could be checking social (_for a set period of time, like 5 minutes_) or even a tasty treat. Get up and stretch even if you don’t get outdoors. Getting outdoors even for a few minutes can really invigorate you, so consider it!

Imagine yourself at 60, distracted for a moment from work or grandchildren by something that reminds you of that guy you were with briefly in your youth. For a few minutes you’re lost in a reverie, and then a grandchild’s laughter brings you back to your present joys. IOW, you have many joys in your future bigger yet than your present sadness, as all-encompassing as it feels now.

If it is a true passion for you, it might be worth considering, even if leaving your friends is hard. Know that your major is not your career, though, in most cases, if that is your concern.. Can you take related courses at BC to satisfy your interest? Consider talking it over with your academic advisor.

Thank you for this Chinese translation of an excerpt from a prose poem by the surrealist Romanian poet Gherasim Luca. Here’s an English translation by Julian & Laura Semilian: “…witnessing the appearance in this world of this lover in the same way that I would witness in astonishment the disengagement of a distant planet from chaos…” and the original Romanian: “…urmări apariția pe lume a acestei iubite așa cum aș privi stupefiat desprinderea din haos a unei planete depărtate…” If you’re interested, we’ve got the book: The Inventor of Love & Other Writings, Gherasim Luca, tr.

Sometimes, I don’t have any answers. I don’t know the answer to this one, and it’s a deeply important question. One thing I do know, as long as there are people in our community asking this question, hope should not be lost. There is work to be done. Let’s get to it.

Don’t have anyone for New Year’s Eve

It’s early days yet. Persist? My assistants have done all kinds of things on New Year’s Eve, sometimes solo, sometimes with crowds, sometimes quiet & reflective, sometimes jubilant, sometimes romantic, sometimes religious, and sometimes abroad in countries that run on other calendars in which that day is just like any other day. Try to let your expectations open wide.
