breakups

When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.

Breaking Up (With My Food Relationship)
I said something curt. My sweet, kind demeanor was overtaken by some ungodly presence. Rude would have been an understatement for my actions towards my unsuspecting boyfriend.

On a Wednesday in May
The texts she had sent were clear. She wanted me to come to her house, she wanted us to drink red wine, she wanted us to smoke pot, and she wanted to fuck.

The first day
Sure im young but im not stupid. I knew he would fall in love with me again but im just waiting for it to end because I know it will. Or maybe it wont. I guess I will have to wait but for now here is the story.

Starting Over
The Open Door A thousand journeys come together only to be splintered, divided according to geographic location and estimated time of departure. A symphony clicks staccato on reflective marble floor. Flip flops create a bass line to a stiletto heel’s disconnected beat. Tiny voices of crying children become distant background soloists to the deafening sound of ferry arrivals, disembarking vehicles, and the foul language of people made to sit in line far too early in the morning.

Time For Change
I almost allowed the door to slam shut behind me. Almost. Not dramatic enough, though. Not for the ending I’d envisioned, and I wanted this to be perfect. As perfect as my beautiful foot right now, wedged in the door. A perfectly pedicured foot in a silk stocking, in a brand new Jimmy Choo. A perfect and expensively adorned leg.

I Will Learn to Let Go
Letting go is never easy. We hold-on to objects that seem to hold so much meaning, to ideas that will never grow beyond a rich fantasy...and to people that show so much potential. We hold on. We grip with so much mental effort it is exhausting. This year, I am learning to let go.

Letting Fear Take Control
There comes a time in everyone's life when you have to decide what's worth fighting for and when it's time to let go. Holding on to someone that only brought you pain or sadness, only holds you back from succeeding in life.

Mutual Transgressions
There are four of us now. I’m sure he never thought that we’d find each other like this, but here we are. Of course, his implicit narcissism is how I found him out in the first place-he kept his literal little black book in the nightstand next to the same bed where our shared sins had played out.

respectfully (official audio)
01. superwoman (plural) untapped potential and infinite possibilities, that’s what university should be. but it’s not- because society only opens its doors for people who have the financial means to walk through.

September 8th
I always thought I was a loving person. At least I used the word a lot. It's a mistake a lot of us make I think. "I love pizza" "I LOVE that movie" "I love you"... We toss that word around without really taking the time to figure out what it really is. No judgements over here, I was careless with my idea of love at one point too. Little did I know that I would be put in a position where my entire concept of love would be challenged and completely revised.

2020 Tested My Life Plan
January 2020 To start the year, I was happy, or I thought I was. I lived with my fiancé and was getting ready to move in March. We had been together for 6 years and engaged for 2 years. We picked our wedding date to be January 23, 2021. Everything was okay. I was content with my relationship. I had thoughts that maybe I was making a mistake. Something just didn’t feel right in the relationship. I was constantly envious of close friends sharing how much they loved their partner or expressing love without a feeling of embarrassment or shame. I was embarrassed to show love in public (i.e. holding hands, small pecks on the lips/cheeks), but I still wanted those things. Anytime I tried that with my partner, he would question me or give me a weird look, so I stopped trying. We stopped going on dates after the first few months of dating. Only on our anniversary, we would go out to eat or stay in and order something. I thought this was normal. Neither of us showed that we wanted to change that, until I did.
