@Hifsa:

You do make sense. And I appreciate the advice.

Because it concerns a big chunk of your life, I advice that you seek advice from a person who been through a similar situation or a professional who deals with these matters. But, what I believe is that never endure useless abuse. That girl was right in running away from that guys and if you feel something similar, I think you should do it..Whatever you need for your happiness, always follow your heart...I know these decisions take a lot of guts, but you ought to make yourself strong...I hope I make some sense, Good Luck!

@Kazamas-Keyblade:

Thank you!

@DemonsandAngels:

Hm...Eloquently put.

@Kazamas-Keyblade:

that's not how I see it at all.
It's not my friends. It's just Joe. And even when I was so severely depressed last year because of him that I wanted to physically hurt myself, I never thought of it as 'a sick joke life is playing on me'. Life isn't a joke. Life isn't doing this to me. I'm doing this to me. I chose the path I walk. The whole experience with Joe is just that. An experience. A lesson. I'm learning as I go, and Joe taught and continues to teach me so many things about myself and about life. Yes, he makes me unhappy sometimes, but I wouldn't trade the stress, the tears, the pain, the emptiness, the sadness, the anger, the negligence for anything. Without them, I wouldn't becoming stronger as a person. I need all of that to become a better person. Trials are pivotal to our lives.

How uncanny.
...I sorta have the same complications with people I know.
Maybe we just need new friends.
The whole thing is just a sick joke life is playing on us.
