First of all...please add a little more information like a description about the situation...If they dumped you, they let you go for a reason. If you dumped them then message him and ask him how they are. Remember, it has been two weeks and things won't always go as you wish.
They might have moved on. If they have, respect that. Just talk to your ex first and see how he/she is then soon tell them how you feel and see what happens.
Best of luck getting your ex back.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
