Does that story seem a little shallow to you? It does to me, but, of course, i lived through it so i know exactly how shallow it was. What fails to come through in the retelling of it is that was the first time something almost worked out. I was done having crushes on those beauty queen bitches who wouldn’t give me the time of day, and i thought i was mature enough to date someone. Of course, that wasn’t true, because i couldn’t take her off of my pedestal or climb up there myself. Still, the first time your heart gets broken for real isn’t any fun. And you’d think i’d know better by now…
