    i am so sorry you are in this boat. if i could, i'd give you a big hug.

    in a nutshell: *edit* ...stupid musician broke my heart... *edit* blah blah blah...

    although not having pearl jam right now would kill me-- i say again, i wish i could give you a big hug-may i suggest jeff buckley's "grace" and the grateful dead's "american beauty.. those two albums have been very healing for me.

    you will get through this.

    divorce sucks, no doubt, but what sucks more, is feeling bad for yourself. Git to them shows, fucking rock out with whoever is next to you, and smoke a huge fatty!! I don't personally smoke, but I can only imagine that would go a long way. Hang in there man...

    :( Damn, too many divorces and break ups going on within the PJ community.
    Best wishes to you all, hopefully you'll be at peace very soon.

    i was in a ltr up until 2 weeks ago and worst part is, he is in a pretty well-known local band. and not only do i seem to see him everywhere i go (posters on phone poles, my favorite local music blogs) i hear his songs in my head almost every day.

    Best advice is go out and get involved in new experiences. Create new memories without your ex-partner. Develop interests that were neglected when you were coupled up. Take care.

    I escaped it,... A life wasted,..
    I'm never going back again.

    Shit, I´m so sorry to hear that man. I was through some stuff lilke that last year. For 2 weeks, I felt like shit, but music really helped me out, and friends too. First thing to do, get out, get distracted, keep your mind busy, don´t stay doing nothing....and if you listen to music, these are some songs that helped me:

    Walk on U2
    Wasted Years Iron Maiden
    Life Wasted PJ
    Wasted Reprise PJ ( the ¨i´m never going back again¨part meant so much...I´m never going back to that feeling of sadness and loneliness I felt for those 2 weeks¨)
    Bad cover version PULP

    As for Come back..hahahah...yeah, I remember thinking that listening to that song would tear my heart apart...but you know what? It actually inspired me a lot! I mean, when I listened to that song, I thought ¨this is a song that I will sing to my next girl when she travels....so, I gotta find myself a new girl, and I´m not gonna stop till I get her¨.....

    you must feel so bad! my dream was to get married and have kids but, now i think if it never happens its fine . life goes on even if im by myself forever. id love to adopt a baby though. even if i dont i consider the babies at my child care my kids im with them 8 hours a day and sometimes they call me mommy and when there own parents come to pick them up after work and they cry to stay with me more than the mom. the parents must feel so bad. i love my job. thank god for kids. i hope u feel better. take care. listen to pearl jam hold your head up high.if it wasnt for pearl jam music id dont know what or whered i be-music helps so much. dont dwell on the past like me with an old boyfriend think about the good times you both had with each other. peace to u love pj14(the rubber band girl)

    Been there myself, stay strong. The pain goes away, remember she is now your EX wife. The sooner you get over it the better you will be, but it will take some time. Good luck.
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)
    What You Giving

    I suggest you step out on your Porch.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

    well, i am sorry to hear your going thru a hard time, and not to dismiss it in any way - but you will get better and get over the roadhump - we dont all get that white picket fence ... in fact does anyone?? in the way they really imagined it would be?? but you will get better, i promise.

    but, as for the problem or pj's songs - i really think thats the very reason i love them so much. Sad songs, angry songs, happy songs, loose yourself songs - its always like ed can look right inside my head, pull out what im thinking and put it into words. magic. i never tire of hearing them, and even if the memories i put to some songs are sad, they are my memories and its interesting that another's words can describe them so well.
