I was truly heartbroken for the first time in my entire life. I had no friends, and even my best friend was not always there for me. However, that was not her fault. She texted me and we hung out more, but I pushed everyone away because I did not know how to deal with my feelings. I felt like I lost a whole part of my family, and I just wanted my friends back. I started to spend time with River’s friends because I missed them, but he ruined it every time I tried. I began to spend time with David Wright and Alex Snyder again. We would ride around in their trucks listening to music and going way too fast. Despite the recklessness, I was happy for the first time in a long time. I was smiling and I had finally began to find myself again. If I was not with David riding on old back roads I didn't even knew existed, I was by myself.

When David and Alex were busy and I had nowhere to go, I would drive to the Bluff and just stare at the view. I always wondered what it would be like to jump off, not in a suicidal way because I love my life, but I wondered what people actually felt about me . I wanted to know what River would be doing if I was not around anymore. I wanted to know if he truly wanted our relationship to end, or if he just was

It has to do with the human inclination to become bored and dissatisfied and to begin looking for something different.

    One such spot is Tommy T’s, an arcade that doubles as ice cream parlor, where my brother and I would walk up to for a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream. Across the street from there is the Exxon gas station where we routinely loaded up on sugary drinks and candy. Then down the road there is the old grocery store where everything is overpriced, but of course must be checked out to see if anything is worth trying to talk our mom into buying.

Participants may disagree with the existence of the disease, more specifically the idea that heartbreak can lead to a medical condition that causes an abnormal contracture of the heart. Participants may also disagree with the origin and reliability of the source.…
