The last month has been a difficult one, but I don’t speak just for myself. Not only was I dumped, but so were a number of my friends. Lee was broken up with by phone as his long distance girlfriend told him his was too good to be dating someone with so many problems. Amanda was dumped by her boyfriend the day after she had predicted that he would dump her. Heather wasn’t so much dumped as she was ditched by a guy she kissed. Stacy was dumped by her boy. and of course I was dumped by my girl. Is it just the time of year? Is it so hot in Utah that people get grouchy and decide they can’t handle being around someone else? Or, is it maybe that because it’s hot that people go out more, meet new people and decide that there are other options to be pursued? I don’t know what the reason is, but it sucks. Amidst all the destruction left by these break ups I have been reminded that lonely hearts still beat the same. Thanks Sarah, Russell, and Georgia for helping us all through these trying summer months.
