It hurts that I made another person, who once cared for me, miserable enough that they left. And it hurts that, despite the changes that I've made and all the work I've done, she still "hates" me and doesn't "ever" want to be with me again.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
