2 failed relationships.

1st one, I felt overwhelmed by how fast everything was going. I was young, inexperienced, still a student, and so unready. I have regrets, but we are really good friends. In her eyes, we are bff's, but I wouldn't go that far.

2nd one, was a messy breakup. I won't bore you with the details, but it broke me.

Took me 6 years to step into the dating scene again and take things seriously — to open myself up again.

And here I am. Broken again. Yearning for the end.

If there's one thing I have learned, it's that opening yourself up may not be the smartest move, even if your heart is telling you to do it.
