Heartbreak Hotel

Lately, a lot of my friends seem to be having their hearts broken. Being unwanted, being dumped, getting messed around, being led on, falling for the wrong person, being hurt. Feeling hurt. Pain refusing to fade even after time has passed.

Not sure why now...why this time of year...it's very sad.

Is it just us?


Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.

There's something about the year 2008. All my friends have split from their partners. That's 4 couples in the space of 2 months. I don't know what it is, but I'm scared :-S.

Maybe it's panic. Being young, people might think that they should be free, "sowing their wild oats" as it were. Not ties down in an adult relationship. Or maybe it's fear of feeling all these grown up feelings and not being used to them...

There must be something going around.
Maybe you should wait until you meet someone you want to have children with. That's what gorillas do.

Gorilla-dom seems the way forward, then...

But where's the fun in that? ;-)

Seriously though, I don't know what it is...life is a rollercoaster (No Ronan Keating pun intended). We have ups and downs, more up hopefully. Maybe it's happening all the time, and the fact that it's closer friends and/or you (not specifically you) are going through the same thing at the same time, you see it.

For (a shallow) example, when I get a spot i just cannot shift, I notice how everyone has the same spot...they probably don't, but I can see it lol

Summer is where a lot of us have the time to stop and take stock, in a way, and I guess that's when people realise what they do or do not want and that's why a lot of people break up at this time of year, or otherwise break the hearts of others. I think. That's always how it seems to happen, anyway. Although for a lot of my friends last summer was the real killer, (I guess because that's when a lot of them left for uni) I'm with you on summer 2008 being a bad one.

I think Jenny hit the nail on the head there...summer is a time when you're not always around each other as much as in School or at Uni and maybe a sense of independence tends to make some flighty or want something different.

Summer always seems to bring change, in my experience.

Yeah. Agree with both Keisha and Jenny. It is happenining all the time, but seems more obvious and noticable when it's affecting close associates directly. Summer spans a fair few months, so from my point of view, it all seemed to hit around Juneish time. But there's always a screwball of other things along the way and since, and of course, to look forward to, as well as all the fantastic amazing magical moments ahead. Swings and roundabouts, eh? That's the way life goes.
