30. For the first time I thought that I can be a lesbian because of her.

 

 

15. After two years together IBN high school, we decided to break up.

I started dating his pseudo-friend, Taylor.

My ex-boyfriend was not happy about it.

The night before we all left for college, my ex-boyfriend went to Taylor’s house and stabbed Taylor’s father on the lawn after they got into an argument about my new relationship.

My ex-boyfriend spent the night in Jail.

Amnnd left for university the next day,

He’s still on probation.

 

 

26. I grew up here just around the corner.

My parents were both students of art(35 years ago).

They told me that at this institute organized some basement party’s with music.

and they remembered some show with laser.

somewhere projected out of whole of a wall in this building.

I think it is still there,

PEACE

 

16. She was a writer. I was not her type

 

 

25. She thought I was like a prince on a white house.

But you know, nobody is perfect.

 

 

44. I came to Korea because of my boyfriend..

but he went back to my country leave me hear all alone and meet another girl...

After that he came to me and ask me to go out again...

 

 

48. If you don't love me I will hit you with pineapple.

 

 

59. Just love yourself that is all you got bitch !

 

53. Dear Timothy

Let me try this again.

I loved you. but you just had to love a guy instead of me.

p.s. You owe me my belt birthday present.

 

 

78. easy come, easy go..

our love became lighter than a wind passing by.

 

 

40. My last boyfriend had a very small penis.

No I didn’t.

Oh yes, you did.

It was smaller than the baby finger of our first born.

But It was as thick as a sequoia.

 

 

41. In the jungle of the pubes It was hidden in the shadows.

Well, the disastrous monster needs a hideaway..

What does your wiener hide from?

 

 

19. One Sunday morning,

when my father screamed at the vegetables.

I realized I had to leave God.

I didn’t love him anymore.

and leaving his nail clipping all over the house.

I’m in disgust.

He also mastur bats in the shower,

and Gods semen is really hard to clean out the tub.

 

 

27. When we met I was sure that I will never love him.

He was not my type; he was rather ugly, lank mousy blonde hair, at least 20 kg overweight–a bit like James Gandolfini without the Sopranos - not what I thought I was after.

His jokes were a failed attempt to be funny and his nightclub job trained him to be affected. I went to that club almost every weekend.

Eventually we became friends. Never before I received so much attention from a man.

well, what can you say about a nineteen-year-old girl?

I enjoyed it ! It started with an invitation for a drink and a casual conversation. He tossed in some compliments about my face and other stuff.

Did he read the guidelines for the process of seduction? Did it include preparing things to say before going out and telling women surreptitiously impressive stories? Soon he took me out and showed me places I have never been before.

How predictable. 

He surprised me with gifts.

What a tease.

I didn’t care because I became a teenage sucker for attention -like scrolling through a tumble page with no end. Still, he was not my type.

I felt nothing.

When he came closer I turned away. Every time he tried to kiss me,  pushed him away and laughed. It was just too easy. It was too obvious.

I kept on mastering the game. I loved to obtain the elusive upper hand. And then came the day when he fucked that girl. He persuaded me to love him and then he didn’t give a shit about me like he did before.

 

 

7. We broke up the night before we actually broke up.

I said “so I thinks we should talk about the fact that I’m moving to a different continent.”

He said “I ‘ve meaning to talk to you about that but I didn’t want to be sad.”

We decided to break up when my dad picked me up to bring me to the airport the next morning.

He hugged me and lifted me off the floor before I left.

We haven't talked since.

 

 

11. He was doing his internship quite far away

and I left for art school elsewhere

and then he broke up with me.

Because we had grown apart....

I didn’t agree at first ,

but I do.

 

 

12. We had a long distance relationship for quite a while.

I thought it wasn’t quite well until one night she started screaming that I was a loser

‘only good at cooking and fucking’.

The next morning I took the first plane back home.

She kept sending me emails for a while.

I didn’t answer.

That was 8 Years ago.

Now we meet every year.

Now and then, and talk about the amazing sex once we had

and complain about our current sex life.

But we both agreed never to have sex again.

We prefer the memory.

 

 

17. Long distance is hard.

He saw me hanging a tree.

and he decided to broke up.

Of my Goodness !

Artez vooropleiding dans venlo was here.

Long distance relations stressed a lot.

Forgotten shit again,

Forgotten everyone.

everything

everywhere

It tired.

 

 

28. Not always my girlfriend from Australia broke up with me via skype.

and now I will never see her again which makes me very sad.
