BF vs. BFF

"You're better off without him, don't worry."
I was getting books out of my locker when a girl I barely talk to said this to me, then left. I just stood there like....what? Facebook is an interesting thing, and it's really good especially at letting the world know when relationships start and end.
Fortunately or Unfortunately, mine ended.
What's interesting to me is that everyone all of the sudden thinks they know me and they know my ex boyfriend and they know exactly how I feel. What was really interesting was this comment made by a girl I don't speak to. How would you know if I'm better off without him? You've never met him, you have no idea. What if he's better off without me? Everyone automatically assumes I'm the vitctim, I'm devestated, I'm desperate to do things different, I'm lonely and regretful. Well, nosy world, I am none of the above. I'm not the victim. I'm not the abused or neglected, and I have not be wronged against. I've realized that things happen, and the best you can do is learn from it, and do it in a gentle fashion, which is something I struggled with and probably failed. My only regret is letting my emotions get the best of me. But, then again, I learned.
I've also been getting numerous people coming up to me and asking what happened, wanting to know all of the 'dirt' on the break-up. Well, this is not a tabloid and I'm not a celebrity and there is no 'dirt' in most average break-ups.
I think that lots of times, people just grow apart without realizing. I don't regret much, because I've learned a lot about myself and about what I need to look out for. My advice is to appreciate friendships and understand that being 'just friends' is a great thing, despite popular belief.
I like it when I see girls and guys as best friends on tv or movies or day to day life. I think it appeals to me because it's someone to protect you, to care about you and to have fun with you. I've always wanted a figure like that, like an older brother or something. I, like most girls, want to feel protected and loved. Sometimes relationships just aren't the best way to get that.
