REAL LIFE STORIES | PUPPY LOVE
Paper Plane, Paper Boat
A true story of my puppy love turned into a sea of anguish.
Have you ever had your heart broken so badly that it hurts to think about it?
And I am not talking about emotional hurt. That is a given. It is the physical manifestation of your despair, as you witnessed your fairytale crumble in front of you.
In a desperate attempt to self-soothe, you placed your palm on your heart, but it was in vain.
Here’s where the irony comes in.
If I have to do it all over again, I will still choose to happily fall in love and have my heart shattered into a million pieces again with no regrets.
It all started with a telephone number
It was the end of the academic year, and I was having my holidays before my third year of secondary education. (10th grade). My school was a single-sex school, so I could count the number of my female friends with my fingers.
I was telling this to my friend from a mixed school and he could not stop laughing. You know how it feels when you are in your teens. Emotional sensitivity on overdrive.
