Dumped Three Times Is Not a Diagnosis

After her first boyfriend left, Galya comforted herself with binge-watching sad melodramas and eating sweets. When her second relationship ended on a minor note—nearly trampling her belief in love—she went to the other extreme: she spent almost every evening in loud company, drowned in alcohol, and in attention from guys…

And then, as she thought, real love knocked on her life. For almost three years Galya was happy—until she was left again, for the third time! Her beloved just left, not explaining anything. What next? Watch movies about love? She’d already been through that back in college. And what new would she see there? Drinking? No man is worth the terrible hangover… Baking cupcakes all day, handing them out to neighbors, and walking around with flour in her hair? Exactly! And even better—going to a cooking class for lemon cheesecake, where she’ll be surrounded only by dough, whisks, and no guys!

They broke Galya’s heart, and she’ll go break eggs. For the cheesecake… And what did you think?
