I honestly thought I was set for life—at least where love was concerned. I was dating the man of my dreams and assumed we would live happily ever after. But then he left me with a broken heart. I was embarrassed and hurt, and picking up the pieces seemed impossible.
I hadn't sworn off men completely, but getting into another relationship was something I just didn't care about. For the time being, I was living for myself and for the weekend, and I thought nothing would change that.
