One of the best periods of my life was when my girlfriend dumped me. It was the middle of the summer before our senior year of college and she dumped my ass cold.

It was pretty rough for a while because I was real sweet on her. Ultimately though, it was one of the best periods of my life.

Some people talk about how when they get dumped that they realize they were the problem, and this acts as a catalyst for personal growth. This did not happen to me. My personality changed somewhat, to be sure, but I did not feel at fault for the loss of our relationship.

Rather, it was just the sweet scent of all those new possibilities in the air that did me so much good. I had a lot of time on my hands, and I used it well.

I'm trying to imagine my life if I got dumped right now, and although I know I wouldn't be as content, I'd certainly be more creative.

If you get dumped, savor the moment. You get to go on a whole new adventure.

Or you can just be a wuss and lay in bed all day long. Your choice.
