Broken Hearted: 我深爱着Ben,但因为他对男性的好奇,我们分手了。我感到困惑和受伤,一方面希望他能回来,另一方面又害怕面对没有他的未来。我们在一起非常契合,这让我更难以放手。我甚至开始怀疑自己,因为他可能实际上是同性恋。 Cheryl Strayed: 我理解你的痛苦,删除Facebook页面表明你感到非常痛苦。但你要认识到,那个想和你共度余生的人已经选择离开。不要沉溺于虚假的希望,你需要重写你们的故事,接受他已经离开的现实。 Dan Savage: 人们会和他们想在一起的人在一起,分手时说的“我想和你在一起,但因为X、Y、Z原因不能和你在一起”几乎都是谎言。无论是双性恋还是同性恋,都结束了,你必须向前看。停止成为戏剧女王,不要因为被甩就威胁要退出戏剧界。 Steve Almond: 你应该感受你的感受,但不要沉溺太久。把所有的感觉都投入到你的艺术中。不要躲避他,走出去,面对现实。重要的是你曾经付出爱,并尝试与人亲近。
