Narrator

The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.

Hurt

I'm sure we have all been hurt once or twice somewhere along the way. By a family member, a boyfriend, or even your best friend. Often the hurt they caused can be forgotten and you can move on as if nothing ever happened. But then there are those rare occurrences where you have been cut so deeply into your heart that you can feel nothing but the nearly unbearable pain you have to endure. When these moments come around, we tend to not know what to do because we have never experienced anything quite like it, like we were punched in the stomach and the wind was knocked right out of you. It's an awful feeling and I honestly hope none of you have to ever experience it. For those of you have or are, I'd like to say I have some great advice for you and some wise words that will just make everything seem okay again. I don't. Not a clue. My only conclusion is that you have to be close enough for someone to hurt you so the only way to never get hurt again is to never become close to anyone ever again. And that's what has happened to me. I've been completely ruined and I surely hope they are happy. I don't trust anyone; even the ones I love the most. It's weird to not trust anyone and its hard to not become too close with anyone. Life is a long path of disappointment and let downs. So never expect anything highly of anyone because you can't, you never can. Human beings are the most selfish of individuals ever created; we live in a very sad life. But what gets me through is God.
Romans 12:9-21 really put things into perspective for me last night and I encourage everyone to read it.
