“There are plenty of fish in the sea,” they said.
        “The grass is always greener on the other side,” they said.
        “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” they said.
        “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” they said.
        “Every dog has its day,” they said.
        “Better safe than sorry,” They said.
        “There’s no time like the present,” They said.
        “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” they said.

And she was dead inside. So how could she listen to them?
