Rob and I broke up on a Monday. It was the first warm day after an impossibly long winter, which made the whole thing feel that much more cruel. I was in line at Starbucks when I got a text that read, “Hey, you around? I think we need to talk.”

Just two short sentences, but they had the destructive force of a sudden summer storm.

As I walked home, panic settled in my stomach like a swallowed stone. I went into my bedroom and closed the door, even though I live alone. Our conversation was brief, or so it seemed. I had no concept of time.

1. Breaking up is not the worst thing. Usually no one died.

Its just an awful period that most people are not spared.
