If you cry over the results of your own decision, you've done something wrong. Be careful not to make decisions that you're going to regret.
If you've been dumped by someone more times then you can count on one hand, you need to give up. If you go back a 6th time, catch the problems in time to end it yourself.

Love is not what we become, but what we already are.
