The Shaft

I've noticed that there really is no good way to break up with someone. No matter what they say to you to sugar coat it or justify it, it is still going to hurt. They could do it by saying that they wanted to play 20 questions and then ask "If someone were to ask you tomorrow if we were still together, what would you say?" Then when you answered "Well I would say yes" because you weren't expecting anything. But then she (or he) might just say "Well then you would be wrong." And that could totally hurt because that's probably not the kindest way to let someone go. But on the other end of the spectrum, they could just start a nice and totally ordinary conversation with you. Then they would ask some simple questions and give simple answers to your questions. And they could be totally loving and kind during the whole thing. And it would still hurt just as bad afterwards. So what I'm saying is that I guess I realize that these things are going to hurt so I might as well just learn to get over them. It's practically a natural part of life when you are "going out" in high school. Now if I could just remember that, this wouldn't hurt so bad.
