A few months prior to the 30th, I broke up with my girlfriend of 2 and a half years. She decided that I was not enough for her (three times), so I decided to end the relationship. I was a wreck, and I decided to take a break from dating. A few months pass, and a few days prior to the bonfire, I was hanging out with my best friend, Christian, …show more content…
