El Holly shared a quote “Breakups are like broken noses; they both suck. A lot. And they both give you that eyes-stinging, face-numbed-with-pain feeling. Okay, I’ve never had a broken nose. But I imagine it has to feel similar to this.” El Holly

“Breakups are like broken noses; they both suck. A lot. And they both give you that eyes-stinging, face-numbed-with-pain feeling.
Okay, I’ve never had a broken nose. But I imagine it has to feel similar to this.”
