My Crush and I have working towards to possibly getting into a relationship for about year by now, but... things have changed, we recently discussed about how we feel about the matter now compared to back then, and she told me that she no longer wants to pursue a relationship with me, or a relationship at all, as a matter of fact. She says she already has alot of stuff on her plate, and being the hard-working person she is, she also wants to pursue her personal goals more than anything, so she really has no room for a romantic relationship with anyone. As for me...? I'm on the same boat, I realize that there are other things I need to focus on, and as well as the fact that I need to better improve on myself before even thinking I can be fit to be anyone's partner at all. So after a couple of hours of discussing it, we both agreed that we should drop the idea. Admittedly I am... rather sad that we were never able to get far enough in our relationship, but it is what it is, I can't force her. Not to mention, we've already agreed to stay as close friends, since the two of us have already grown so close in such a short amount of time, and she's really the only person in my life that I can truly trust 100%.

However, I've been working so hard towards that one slight possibility of us becoming a couple for the past year or so that its been one of my main driving forces to my self-improvement, since I was finally able to find someone who truly understands me and loves me for who I am. For so long, I've been surrounded by people who have expected me to meet ridiculous standards that I was never able to meet, and for that no one ever gave me a chance... so you can imagine how happy I was when I met her and realized she was the exact opposite of everyone else I've met in my life, and truly genuinely loved me for who I am in the inside.

But now that that possibility has been ruled out for good, I... don't know what to do. I'm stuck. Don't get it twisted, this isn't me asking "omg my crush doesnt wanna date me no more pls can you guys help me make her change her mind" No, nope, none of that... admittedly I was never the most well-adjusted person among my peers, but I would never stoop that low. I'm... merely asking for advice on how I can forget about this and move on, because I'm afraid of the possibility of my sadness towards this outcome might possibly end up affecting me in the long run
