I like this. Every entry is interesting, and it's great how they all lead up to the final entry. If the entire thing had been about your heart being broken, it would've been kind of cliche, but with all the other listings of injuries, the broken heart thing really fits in and really makes the whole thing. With all the stuff about sports, though, I think it would be great if you could add some kind of sports-type thing to the last one it would add that much more.
