Tennis ace Serena Williams isn’t normally on the heatworld radar, but when we heard that she’d written an emotional account of a recent break-up on her official blog, suddenly she seemed like more than just a load of muscles attached to a tennis racquet. In a world of fiercely private celebrities, it’s pretty shocking that someone as internationally famous and successful as Serena has been so candid about their feelings. Here’s what she’s written about the mystery man who recently broke her heart…
You just start dating a guy. He likes you, you like him. You guys want to spend every second together. When you are not with him you are talking to him on the phone. You have deep feelings for him. The feelings keep developing. They keep growing. You begin to think this could be it... He talks about he can't imagine not being with you. You think he's falling in love with you. But you can't be 100% sure. You guys have not said that sacred 4-letter word that starts with an "L". But you feel it deep, deep in you. Deeper than you have in a long time.
Weeks turns into months and you slowly start to wean the other guys in your life out. And then it happens. No not the "L" word. But what you have been most afraid of. What deep in your heart you have been afraid to confront. What you always suspected would happen one day sooner or later. HE STOPS CALLING. You panic... Finally you hear from him. You want to rage you want to scream you want to cry. But you can't help you heart from feeling a tad bit happy.
As you begin to ask him what happened he stops you. He says "I need space". Tears finally come and they make you feel a little better, but the pain is piercing through your soul. The pain never hurts as bad as the first time. But all the same you can't help but feel hopeless, foolish. Your great chance to be with your soulmate has again somehow slipped and failed.
What do you think? Cathartic exercise or something Serena’s going to regret in a few days time?
