From the World of Failed Relationships
The favorite matra given to the heartbroken is "Move on." Enough with this moving on bullshit. If you're brother moves out to go to college should you move on from loving your brother? You guys don't live in the same house anymore. You're continuing to hang on to this love for him is pathetic disallowing you from letting other brothers into your life.
I believe if you are able "move on" from loving someone then you must not have ever loved that person because love is forever. FOREVER! Forever and ever and ever. That's why marriage is until death do them part. Just because someone isn't in your life anymore doesn't mean your feelings dissipate for him/her. What happens to a married couple when one of the spouses has to take a business trip, do they move on?
"Yeah, but, Rachael a business trip is only a few days. No one is suggesting to move on in a few days." Fine what if one of the spouses is an Archeaologist and has to go to Olduvai Gorge for a year and half digging up hominds with a tooth brush? Should they call the whole thing quits and forget the existance of their former life partner?
I think if you break up with someone and then get over it a few days, weeks, or months then it was a good thing you broke up because that relationship wasn't going to last as your feeling were obviously evanescent. You'd have to admit you never really cared. If you did you still would.
This isn't to say that if you carry a torch to your grave for a person you can't date and have sex with other people. Hell, you can even fall in love again and again and again with a host of other people; fuck those relationships up; and, be an old person constantly in danger of burning your house down with all the torches in your hands. Best to learn to juggle fire.

Oh and non-related: Can the NYC subway stop sucking! We, the consumer, should strike. The service is awful. Run more trains you bastards.
