breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Merlot Eyes
On a cold breezy summer morning, you came by to have waffles and lay on the roof with me in the sun. I don’t know if you’re my soulmate or not, but if you’re not, you make me want to not meet them. I love the way you say my name. I love how you stand tall in your baggy jersey. I love looking into your eyes underneath the summer sun. I love just looking into your eyes. I want to be present in that moment – just looking at them. And this is exactly where I want to be. You look back into my eyes. Your gaze as blue as the grapes crushed to make the Merlot in your glass.

You See, the Trick Is....
“How do we reach it?” Kalisa John asked. Her new beau, Mannix Malveaux, stood beside her. On their first date, they decided to master a Dover, Delaware escape room. The prize was five thousand dollars each, a gourmet dinner, and a bottle of Merlot.

A special connection from the past
You are thinking about that special connection from the past. He decided to walk away and give up on the relationship. You felt a deep connection to him, and in your gut, you know that he did not walk away because he did not love you. Either way, you are questioning your trajectory and what you should do next. You want to start anew but you are having a hard time doing so. There is a constant background feeling connecting you to him. If you could just turn off those feelings like a switch so you could move forward. There is nothing worse than wanting to move on but feeling stuck.

The Golfball Anecdote
It was half way through July in 2019 when a storm broke out that wouldn't subside for the next three weeks. The next three weeks were self-isolation before self-isolation; melancholy, loneliness, and boredom were the three rulers of the house and all I cared about was finding creative ways to avoid studying for mid-years.

I never told you.
You changed my life. I never told you how much it hurt to know that we would eventually part ways. There was always this silent heartache that lingered when we embraced. Your hand in mine never felt like home. It was like a skeleton, holding onto the something I knew would die.

Red Flags
She shouted at the top of her lungs for no absolute reason.“James, you missed the f-ing turn!”. If there was ever a red flag that I could no longer tolerate this relationship it was then. In the Winter of 2016, I was in my first real relationship with a girl. It was cool because one, I had never been in one before, and two, she was nice to me. Looking back, I totally rushed into it. I probably had known this girl for maybe three weeks. To limit any controversy, I’ll refer to her as Red, for both the red flags and the brown-reddish hair she had (ironic).
