Growth is painful. At 24, being freed from your GF of 8 years was a blessing in disguise. You will honestly be happy about this a year from now, mark my words.

Well, to be honest I can't say I am very religious (if I am at all). I was raised catholic but quickly lost my faith when I discovered science. I still have brief moments like in my original post where I lash out (hard to completely ignore my faith when my mom keeps trying to push it back on me).
Overall I have changed a lot in the short time since that original post and have made great strides to change my outlook and to be more positive. My post last night was a temporary moment of weakness caused by the holidays and sleep deprivation. I know things will improve in time; I sure hope it is faster then 4 years (1/2 the time spent with her as quoted above by riverbender
).
Oh, and as for the bike thing, I don't really care about it that much, it was just a catalyst that ignited everything else.
