My Josh Thoughts

Ever since Josh Moon told me that he and Jed broke up, I've been consumed by the idea of them breaking up. Granted, I've only known Josh since the National Young Dem's meeting, but I've thoroughly enjoyed all the experiences I've had with him and Jed. After meeting them, I was excited to have a couple to hang out with (so much so that Brian thought I was in love with them since I talked so highly of them and he constantly teased me about it). I really feel badly for Josh; I can't think about anything else. I will try to be totally respectful of Josh as I write this because he deserves it.

Tonight Brian and I went to dinner with Josh Moon. There's an obvious difference in his persona but he seems to be holding up well. It's funny because I see a lot of myself in Josh and a lot of Brian in Jed; not only are we similar, but our situations are very similar. I'm financially dependent on Brian, Brian is out of school, and we co-own things. With respect, I told Josh that while it's a sad situation, it's interesting to look at as a human experience. Since I believed that his relationship with Jed was similar, I can only keep comparing myself in this break-up situation. What's happening to Josh is exactly what would happen to me. I don't think I could handle it as well unless it was an amiable break-up. Brian and I still could be friends, and God-forbid if that were to happen, I think we still could remain close (but not as close as now). I'm still friends with all of my ex's.

Josh is living with friends right now and will be moving into the dorms. His graduation plan has changed because he has to graduate as soon as possible and won't be able to do things he previously wanted. I really hope Josh gets through this hard time; he's in my heart and in my prayers.
