Words of wisdom from my mom
Me: My friend’s boyfriend just broke up with her so she needs a girls’ night out.
Mom: I was broken up with once, when I was younger. I was a mess. Crying all the time, really miserable. Looking back at it, I was so stupid. Wasted so much time. What does it matter? There are plenty of boys around. If you lose one, you’re always going to find someone else. Someone better. No need to get so upset, you’re just going to get unnecessary wrinkles.
