I had a really tough, high school, middle school and high school years because I was not popular and people made fun of me. I had a lot of frenemies – people who pretend to be your friend and then are really not. I had friends – people who I thought were my friends and then, two seconds later they’d go and talk bad about me behind my back.

I was kind of nerdy. I was in theater and I didn’t have a boyfriend until my senior year of high school and he was in the band. He broke up with me, and I was devastated, and I was going to do anything I ever could possibly do to get this guy back. It’s all these little stages of emotions where you’re sweet, and then you’re angry, and then you’re nice, and then you’re really mean again. I was a senior in high school and I just thought when we broke up, my world was going to end. It took me awhile.

It took me probably way too long. When he finally got another girlfriend, I think that was when I was kind of like, “You know what?  I just really have to give up on this because obviously, it’s not going to happen.” So, it took me – he didn’t date for a while, but it really took me a long time to kind of have that realization of like, “This is over.  I just need to get over this because I’m the one that’s starting to look crazy now.”

I think everyone has to go through that, too, where they have this relationship you think it’s – especially when you’re young and you don’t know any better and you think, “This is it,” but you have so much more life to live, especially when you’re in high school. You don’t even realize what’s still to come.

Everyone’s been hurt in a relationship and sometimes that hurt comes out as being mean, and angry and it’s really just the underneath all of that that your feelings are hurt because you just lost this guy who you thought was the best thing in the whole world.
