The Rebounder

Normally after a relationship is over, people look for support and comfort.

Maybe that comes from the huge carton of chocolate double chunk brownie ice cream in your freezer.

Or possibly from a good metal song that blares on your eyes that screams FUCK YOU and GO TO HELL.

But for most people, it includes a special someone.

That someone is formly known as the "rebounder"

Now you may wonder, what is a rebounder?

A rebounder is a person who is a last resort or escape for a lost, broken heart from the fact that they have just been dumped or rejected.

Normally, a rebounder is a girl...but not necessarily.

As many people, I'm guilty of having a rebounder.

And I have BEEN the rebounder.

Thing is, rebounders ALWAYS get hurt as well. They find themselves thinking that this is a real relationship. No. It's just a fake way for the "player" to feel less pain and feel affection because of the fact that he or she just got dumped or rejected.


I just had to add the "because they got dumped or rejected" part.


Thing is, we all fell guilty when we tell our "rebounder" that it wasn't real. Yeah, you go out, have fun, maybe foul around a little, text, flirt, then leave them wondering....

what the hell was that???






Then the question off all this is.

Why do we use people (rebounders) to heal our own wounds from the past which is semi our fault???
