Hi, Mitchel! How are you?

Mitchel
Hi, I'm doing alright. Yourself?

Doing fine, thank you. As you know, we're doing a series called "Ex interview" where we ask a former couple a series of questions (individually) about their love story.

Yes! I think I am prepared

Sounds good. So, for the first question. How did you meet?

It's a little funny.
We met through some mutual friends. We had the same taste in music and immediately we clicked. The day we met we were going on and on about video games and music. It was as if we had known each other for years. I was 15 and he was 14 at the time.

What was your first impression?

I honestly thought he was a bit annoying. As the day went by though, I warmed up to him. We both loved singing. We both loved being stupid. It was almost as if we were made for one another.

What was being with him like?

The time I spent with Christian was always surprising in some way, ya know? He always found a way to make things fun even when they were boring as shit. He brought excitement and light to our relationship. He kept things interesting.

What's one thing you loved about him?

I loved the way he made me feel as though nothing could ever go wrong. I felt safe with him. I cherished that about him. Everything about him simply made you feel safe and not many people have that capability, and that's something I definitely loved. It was unique.

What happened between the both of you?

At the end of the day, I was deeply in love and he had simple feelings. Things became complicated and I think he got scared. It was all so new and different for him. A part of me blames myself. Maybe I confused him or pressured him to love me. I regret that. He made a decision and the truth came out. There are some things you simply can't come back from, no matter how hard you might want to.

Do you miss him?

Most definitely. He was a huge part of my life. I still feel sad and occasionally cry over the entire situation. It wasn't just our relationship that was lost. I lost my friendship. Our band. Everything fell apart along with our relationship. He was a huge building block to it all. I will always miss him.

Are you moving on from him?

That's a hard question, honestly. I've attempted to meet other people but my feelings were so strong that at times I'm scared to let go. Sometimes I think that if I wait a little longer, something will change. Maybe we will find each other again and things will be better and we can try again. I know that won't happen though. So I don't really know. At times I think I am, but there are more times where I don't think I am.

What's one thing you want to tell him?

I'm not angry anymore. I don't blame you nor should you blame yourself. I still think that we're best friends regardless of the reality. You created years of happiness for me, and I can only hope that I've done the same for you.
There isn't anybody else I appreciate more than you. Even if we never meet again and if you forget about me, I want you know that you hold a special place in my heart. I love you and always will. Please live a long and happy life.
