re: how do you do deal with or have dealt with heartbreak?

It's a combo of things too. I'm very blessed to be able to get paid to go to graduate school, but I barely know anyone here. All the other grad students are married or engaged and leaving our program in June.

I grew up with a twin brother who I was always with. Went to college together. Lived together all four years. Now he's back in Chattanooga. And were really close with all our high school friends still. So he's back there going out with all them. Living with one of them. And I'm living by myself in Starkville. First time I've ever really been homesick.

Then my two best friends live in Atlanta and we all text everyday but still not the same obviously.

Sounds depressing as shite typing this out.
