ten things i learned from my last broken heart
1) It's possible to be a little heartbroken for a long time. Once, we were almost something, but only almost and only for a little while. If my calculations are correct, I should therefore have felt only a little sad and only for a short time. But that broken-hearted feeling continued ebbing and flowing in intensity long after I would have expected it to cease. Ridiculous! This mourning period is completely out of proportion to what actually occurred between us, I scolded myself. But all I could really do is sigh and wait for time to pass: there’s a reason why art is full of longing that lasts.
