According to my friend, im not in the stage of Depression anymore in the DABDA process (see previous post). So what is next? Its supposed to be Acceptance (the last A) but then again, my friend told me, its supposed to be AGAIN NOT ACCEPTANCE. That means, one has to go back to the first level or process which is Denial, which one of my good friends told me that I am in that stage, AGAIN. He said, I am in denial that I am finally over the fact that me and my ex are no longer together and that I am still in love with my ex. Yes, i am not denying i am still in love but i have come to accept the fact that we are no longer together. And that's the painful truth!
So, do people really repeat the process? Is the last stage, AGAIN or ACCEPTANCE? With the wisdom of my good friend who has never had any long term relationship nor a "quite" meaningful romantic relationship with someone (since most had been flirts, short time partners, or a game of who wants who), the whole process should be repeated with no definite end until someone is able to laugh at the experience and is able to let someone in. Or even accepting the idea of loving someone again with no strings, hang-ups, expectations, baggage, etc. etc. attached to this idea of loving someone again.
And yes, I may be in the denial stage. So what? At least, I am moving on... in my own terms.
