breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Words I Wish You Would've Heard
Sometimes I think about the fact that it's been 10 months. 10 months since I was supposed to see you, and experience something for the first time with you. 10 months since I was planning to drop down on one knee and ask you one of the biggest questions a person could ask. 10 months since I was trying to pay for a $1700.00 vacation that was reworked to include you, and a custom $1200.00 engagement ring. 10 months since you said you wanted to do something else that would have brought the vacation to $2500.00. 10 months since I said I couldn't afford the extra $800 thing you wanted to do.
Healing
I think we have all experienced heartbreaking relationship at some point or another. Here are some things I felt after one that was particularly difficult for me. These thoughts are not exactly in any specific order, just here written out the same way they came to my mind at different points of healing... Maybe they can help someone to find their own path to healing.

This is a follow up to to this post. I am struggling a bit mentally right now, and I apologize if this does not make a whole lot of sense. I find sometimes the best thing to do when we are upset about something is write about it.
Ramblings of a Broken Heart
Been alone and happy Silent and consistent 7 years rebuilding You broke in Lighting the darkness An unexpected change
Hattiemae MitchellPublished 4 years ago in HumansProblems
I sit on the swing in an old park that was all but forgotten by most kids. My eyes were glued to the stars that are shining beautifully on a moonless night. While their beauty wasn’t lost on me, I hardly registered it. My heart was pounding against my rib cage and butterflies danced in my stomach, a goofy smile resting on my face as I think of my reasons for being here. Well, reason, as in one, him. He is my reason, Zack. We’ve been friends for years but just started getting to know each other and talk with each other recently, and I couldn’t be happier.

I have always hated playing pretend as a child and as an adult I despised the idea even more. So why am I sitting here trying to pretend like my world is not crashing down right before my eyes. "Sandra," he pleaded leaving a stench of desperation in the air. My heart beg my mind to explain why it's not responding to his despair. "Sandra, you have nothing to say?" Terrance kneel down on his knees in front of me sitting on this sofa that feels like I am being swallowed up by quick sand. How quickly our colorful heated argument ends in a dark and lonely place we both dread to face. The cold dark empty feeling is only intensified by the silence felt in the room which magnify the reality that this could be the of the end of us. Confused, I then found myself with an internal battle between my heart and mind. My mind wants to pretend that in this very moment my world is not falling apart. My heart hit me with a brick to the head, bringing me back to reality as the foundation we built dismantle brick by brick. My mind reason that if I look long and hard for the light in this dark and hollow place we have manage to find ourselves in, I am destined to find a speck of light. My heart gently pull me back reminding me that time was not the enemy here. I found some humor in that it wasn't long ago that my heart was fighting for us. Oh, how the roles has reversed.

July 23, 2020 Dear-Lover I’m not really sure when you will be getting this letter, considering I don’t know when I will send you your birthday gifts, but I hope no matter how late this is, you will still love it. I have tried to pick out items I know you will love (all of the NBC items) I have also tried to pick out meaningful gifts for you as well. Mostly, to show that I still care and love you. I mean I always will, you were my first love. Even though we didn’t turn out as we both may have hoped, I’m still happy with how things are. You are still in my life. You’re in my life in a much different way than most people would have thought. I never thought we would be as close as we are now even though we are not together.

I've always wanted to at least try and control every aspect of my life down to the "t". Whether it be college grades, a lover, even to what I might have for dinner. But sadly, at the age of twenty-two, I understood how this thing called reality works. You see, there is a saying; that time waits for no man. I mean, we all should believe this to be true because we don't have magical powers to make time stop when we won't but, I digress. Moving forward, allow me to let you into my very active mind.

"Julian," I watch the brown hairs rebel god scoff and look to the ground, his glasses covering those devilish green eyes. That leather jacket, those blue jeans, old sneakers. Everything about him demands ladies to look his way. I am one of those ladies.

Black Friday, 2016. I was at a Chinese restaurant with my mother, one just off the busiest boulevard in town. The sky outside was dreary and gray, and it was cold for South Texas. Rain trickled lazily along the outside of the window next to me. Before me, tender strips of beef and cheerfully-green broccoli swam in a sticky, glossy, oaky sauce that stained my steamed white rice amber.

I met Liam* my junior year of college after I had gotten back from studying abroad, and was going through a serious depression. I was hopelessly in love with a man I had met while abroad and solely focused on him. Liam and I became friends when I returned for my senior year, I was going to therapy and working through my depression and anxiety. We connected over our complicated love lives. I liked him. He was easy to talk to and I didn’t feel like I needed to try and impress him because he was so accepting. He also had some major hangups about relationships based on his past. I pushed any idea of us being together out of my mind and figured we would just be friends.

by: Hannah Randolph Falling in love, and being in love, can be tricky. It gets even worse if you’re 4,000 miles apart from the one you love. Trickier still if you’re not technically dating that person.
