My name is  Rueben . I'm 21 and miserable  . No , no , don't get me wrong . I have a good job . Awesome job actually , great friends and all but I can't seem to find the one thing that makes the world go round . Love .
I've had my fair share of experiences , in which I was the 'bad guy ' . To be honest , back then , in my hay days , I thought I'd get away with it . But I was wrong . My past caught up to me really really fast . Like very fast . Almost shockingly fast . In the above mentioned 'relatiinships' It was always the girl putting in more work , always trying to understand me , etc all I did was flirt with other females and 'enjoy  my youth' . Until I met Sophie . Sophie was a British exchange student back in my high school . I intended what I had with her to be a little 'affair ' but as I got to know her better , I was intrigued  , and I fell , fast and very hard .  I readily dropped all my side pieces,  stopped flirting around , gave it my all too . Just when things seemed rosy , I was given a taste of my own medicine  and traumatised  for life . I did love Sophie . What we had was real . Realer than anything I have ever experienced  but I guess karma said no .

So this is my story . My name is Rueben Van Simpson .
