And did he even know?
That boy, that boy, he broke your heart.
You cried into your best friend’s arms.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Broken Heart Syndrome is a heart condition brought on by stressful or extreme emotion.
Causes of a broken heart include:
Listening to Taylor Swift’s ENTIRE canon non-stop
Death of a beloved pet
Tinder date’s profile pic doesn’t match their RL face
Loving someone who doesn’t love you back
Symptoms of a broken heart are anger, tears, and insomnia.
Were you angry?
Yes.
Were you crying?
Yes.
Were you sleeping?
No.
The human heart weighs 10 ounces.
A Blue Whale's heart weighs 400 pounds.
I wonder how a Blue Whale survives a broken heart.
To mend your tiny human broken heart, you must pickle it.
