So, should I forget my girlfriend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and
dream that one day she will be back to me?

Dear Rio,
You call her your girlfriend, but she has chosen her own way. For this reason I’d say that there
is nothing you can do except forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully you can find
another love and life happily forever.
