It feels like you got shot in the gut, you’re confused, and you don’t know what to do. I know there’s a ton of expert material out there on this, but this is different for one reason: I just got dumped too, and yeah, it fucking hurts. I’m writing this for myself as much as I am for you. I’m no guru, no natural; I’m only a hurt guy next to you. And we’re gonna pull each other out of this mess. What we do right now, bloodied and battered, is what defines us as men. We can choose to be weak, lay on the cold ground and await the artillery of emotion, or we can choose to become the stuff of legends.
