On Broken Hearts and Breaking Up [Dear DBN]
Breakups suck. Getting dumped sucks. Getting left for someone else sucks. Having your heart broken sucks. We know this. But love has a way of making us forget that every single time that love ends, it’s going to really, really suck. This week, what do you do with a broken heart?
