WELLNESS: Rules for breaking up: Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to. Prolonging the situation only makes it worse. Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly. Don't make a big production. Don't make up an elaborate story - this will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene If you wanna date other people - say so. Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected even if you've gone together for only a short time, and haven't been too serious, There's still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers the company of others. To your exclusive company, But if you're honest, and direct, and avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news, The boy will respect you for your frankness, And honesty he'll appreciate the kind of straightforward manner In which you told him your decision unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends!

“Let me tell you the story of right hand-left hand. It's a tale of good and evil. Hate: it was with this hand that Cain iced his brother. Love: these five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand: the hand of love. The story of life is this: static. One hand is always fighting the other hand, and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand—Love—is finished. But hold on, stop the presses; the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes now, that's right. Ooh, it's a devastating right and Hate is hurt. He's down. Left-Hand Hate KO-ed by Love.” Radio Raheem
