Stella Jones - Day 1 of Breakup Where do I begin? It was a sunny day and it was super hot out. Like super draining from all the things I ended up having to do that day. I ended up just going to my classes for the day. I am 18 years old. Things have been different after I met the love of my life or so I thought he was. Things have been hard, but we are having to keep going to go strong. People keep telling me that I need to let all the hurt go. That I shouldn't focus on that part of my life. My life has been a roll coaster. It has been up and down with all the different dramas I have had going on in my life. I am just hoping I am able to talk about all the things I have been through with Joey. He wasn't the best guy. I have always had my best friend Erik, yes he is a guy.

I am trying to not go over to him and kick him in his nuts for being such an ass to me.
