School, Love, Pain and Friends

Wow, that title sounds like some kind of teen anthem. Yes, I am updating after only a day, but don't expect daily posts very often. It just so happens that I have more I want to talk about. 
 
First off, I wanna blow off some steam about school. It's only the second day and I've already recieved 4 homework assignments. And that's only from two classes! The other two are computer-oriented and Lockerby's accounts aren't even working yet. And on top of that, I have been wasting my money on city buses. Neither of my potential morning school buses have showed up, and the one I took after school last year is nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, I don't even know what number it is, because it's my not my scheduled bus (even though it's a lot closer to my house). Anyway, it's starting to get on my nerves, but I'll work it out eventually. 
 
But enough school rants. Now for the serious post.  
 
What I actually wanted to write about is that I've been hearing a lot about relationships and breakups lately. And I've been thinking about this topic quite a bit. Particularly my breakup with Lucy, and the painful endings to some of my friends' relationships, although I won't name names. One cliché saying that has come up a lot lately is "Time heals all wounds." What a load of crap. Now I'm not usually that cynical, but it's true. The idea that emotional wounds can be completely healed if you just "give it time" is ridiculous. Granted, the pain becomes easier to bear as time goes on, but it doesn't stop hurting. If you were truely in love, and had your heart broken, that is a burden that you will always carry. All you can do is try to move on. 
 
I've been asked if losing people gets any easier. My response: No. And I really hope it never does. Think about it. If it was easy to lose people, it would cease to be important. We wouldn't care about losing our closest friends, or our girlfriend/boyfriend. And that should never be. I'd say that the hardest part of life is losing the people you care about. Whether it's death, moving away, moving on to different schools or romantic breakups, it's the worst emotional pain one can bear. And that should never be easy. 
 
On the other hand, wallowing in despair does not help things. It won't stop hurting, but holding that pain in doesn't make things any better. If you can confide in a friend, it is the best form of emotional support. It will make the pain easier to bear. I just wish I had chosen to seek support when I lost Lucy. I only realize now that it is better than holding in the pain. When talking to a heartbroken friend recently, I related my own experiences and ended up helping both him and myself to deal with the pain. 
 
In conclusion: 
 
1. School has not started out great for me 
2. Emotional pain never goes away 
3. Losing people is life's greatest emotional pain 
4. When faced with emotional pain, friends are the best form of emotional support. 
 
Thanks for reading all that. And if you didn't actually read it all... well, I don't really blame you.
