Gone.
Jeromy and I took this photo together the day he had to get on a plane
to go back to Yellowknife, and I left to get on a plane a couple of
days after.
The meaning of this photo has changed since it has been taken.
It was taken because Jeromy and I had decided to stay together as a
couple, and do long distance (again). But today, I woke up to a
Facebook message saying he doesn't want to be with me anymore. I have
also been removed and blocked from every social networking website
connecting the both of us. Everything long distance was going fine,
but I guess he just doesn't want to be with me anymore.
I'm a little shocked, not completely, and I'm sad.
I'm uploading this photo to put an ending to an otherwise happy love
story. Too bad it has a bad ending.
This was the photo to conceptually tell everyone that we are together
but not physically, but looks like it's turned into the photo to tell
everyone that he's gone. Absolutely removed from my life (his choice,
not mine).
I miss him but it looks like it's time for me to move on. I'm glad I
have a lot of friends to support me, and I have a very busy Summer
ahead of me. I never imagined that this would happen, especially not
this bluntly.
I'm trying to get over it. Taking it day by day.
This is the last photo in my set called "Jeromy", which will now be, a closed set.
*something I forgot to add.
To anyone who's reading this, and know Jeromy (or don't), please don't
think any lower of him. He hurt me, yes, but that's what happens with
relationships sometimes. It sucks, but please don't think of him as a
bad person, he is not.
*explored #14, thank you.
edit: explored #2, I am blown away. Incredible, wow. Thanks everyone
so much.

That's not nice to hear at all :-( I hope you're doing okay.

Sounds as though he took every emotion you had then left.....I feel bad for you girl, but better now than later....Look forward not backward....:) <3

Thanks guys
Don't feel bad for me, I don't want pity. I
posted this simply to express myself, and let
people know what was going on. For some,
closure. I'll be okay, it all takes time.
hillbilly001 (13 months ago | reply)
I don't pity you angela. I just feel sorry that things didn't work out for you. I believe you truely loved the guy....

Chin up girl, you're still doing great things! :)
Daniel Cumisky (13 months ago | reply)
I'll try not to pity you but this is pretty emotional and in fact really saddening just to read especially after reading and then looking at the photo again. Stay strong and things will definitely work out for you. It's his loss losing such a beauty

Your photo made me think of how we sometimes love our version of a person, that is, what we want that person to be as part of our fantasy, and not who the person actually is. It's really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I love this picture. I think its so perfect in light of everything. I kind of wish I had done something like this oh so long ago when I had been feeling similar things. You're an amazing strong woman. I know I keep telling you that, but i'm certain that you won't ever get tired of hearing it!

I understand what you're saying Angela. You both tried.

Great shot, well done, and thanks for sharing the story with us, seems like you have a good attitude about it.

Please contact me, have very similar issue. Broke my back and my girl bailed on me very abruptly, 5 yr relationship. She said its not the same since I broke my back! Went from very close to not speaking at all...hurts tremendously. Very sad.
TFuZion (12 months ago | reply)
Trying to use photography to move on, can't do much else w injury, very new to photography though. Could use help and advice perhaps....very sorry to hear of your loss. The photo is very powerful indeed.

I do not know you, but I saw this image on the Explore and was moved by your story. The way the person broke up puts him into contention for "A1 Schiedt." At any rate, you amazing photo serves to illustrate recent events as could no other. God bless.
