My break up with Issa Rae
About a year ago I ended my 5 year long relationship with a man I loved. We tried every solution in the books but to no avail. I watched the toxicity grow, the stagnation intensify and the opportunities we both had flee away from us and so resorted to plan Z, breaking up. I still remember my first night alone, sitting on the edge of my bed trying to remember how to function without another human by my side. Suddenly the world felt so overwhelmingly big and I had no idea how I’d ever make it outside the safety of my four walls again. Being broken up with is hard but I soon learnt that breaking up with someone can be just as hard. I dealt with feelings of self doubt, regret and felt I couldn’t relate to anybody around me anymore.
