True synopsis to come later

------------------------------------

I always hoped for a sudden death. I didn't want to pass "peacefully in my sleep after a long illness." They say being burned alive can take two to three hours. No, thank you. I want something quick and easy. A car crash, some freak accident, getting mauled by a bear, even. I don't want to think about how I'm dying. I just want it to be done and over with.

No one tells you feeling a heartbreak is like a slow burn that consumes you from the inside out. You feel yourself burning alive, not for hours, but for months, or even years. 

I would have become a hermit if anyone warned me about heartbreak. 

I don't know if the greatest love was worth the pain of what I'm feeling now. 

Whoever said the phrase "it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" never had their heartbroken by everyone closest to them in less than 6 months. 

I used to believe it too. Until I turned twenty-five.
