breakups

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

Falling from cloud 9
It's cold without you here to hold me. It slaps me in the face like a dark winter night. I told you I would love you for forever and as you said the same, your soul was telling a lie and you stayed silent. I fell in love with you so quickly and fast, with no hesitation or limitations but I thought you were reciprocating my feelings, at least thats what you told me. Never once did I think it was one sided until the sun started to set at five on a Friday morning and my gut told me to do something I knew was going to crush and kill me but was making me hope that I was just being paranoid and you would come out clean and trustworthy. As I sat on the floor of our bedroom with your phone in one hand, unlocked and ready and my phone in my other hand ready to capture any secrecy as you slept so heavily. My heart began to throb, my throat clenched and my stomach turned in ways I never thought it could. As I went from app to app, text to text, note to note, it came very abundantly clear that I wasn't being paranoid and you didn't love me the way I thought you did.

Do Blondes Really Have More Fun?
He just needed some time alone. Or at least, that's what he told me. And like an idiot, I believed him. But that's what you do when you've fallen so completely head over heels for someone. You try so desperately to see past all the warning signs and convince yourself that what he's telling you is true, that he does just need some time. That he is just going through something that he needs space to deal with. I mean, I feel like the words 'compulsive liar' might be a bit harsh but yet here we are.

The Wedding
So this is it, I thought. In three quarters of an hour I shall be a married woman. With clammy hands I smoothed down the front of my dress. I had fallen in love with that dress from the first time I’d tried it on. Eleven petticoats underneath sparkling ivory silk and taffeta. Beautiful.

Two separate lives lost...
Why did it happen again? But my hero of all people. He tells me things and does the opposite. I hate feeling like this I just want my boo. Why doesn't he want me? Lord, I want him please bring him back to me or make me strong enough to forget and still live. I want him I want to be with him, I don't understand I can't handle it give me the strength to not call or worry or continue my wishful thinking. God help me move on if we are supposed to be let him call me and say those things that will heal my heart let him be the one.

Dealing with Heartbreak - A year on
These days, as a man, it is becoming less of a spectacle to open up and talk about the way we feel and what is inside our heads. Although the feeling of nerves and doubt are definitely still present, it is easier than it was maybe 10 years ago.

Escaping A Toxic Relationship
When I was only thirteen years old, I experienced my first toxic relationship as well as my first heartbreak. It wasn't toxic because we were young and didn't fully understand the meaning of love, it was toxic because I was never good enough for that person and they lived to treat me as if I had less value than the dirt on the ground.

Mistakes
Why can’t I be free? Break these chains he has on me? I want to let go. Why do I keep coming back? He has the best of me. I do not have myself. He breaks me down in a thousand pieces. I just silently pick them up and try to put them back together. It is an endless cycle that has been continuing for years. I truly do not know why I cannot just break free.

You Were Too Busy For Her And That’s Why She Left You
She went through hell and back for you. She might have even broken her back for you. She went through a whole lot of suffering and a whole lot of pain. She went through so much disappointment, despair, and woe.

Can love be forgotten?
How many of us recall a past drama love or the most recurrent type of unrequited love? I think that everyone, sooner or later, has to face this stage during their life.

Things My Ex Taught Me About Myself
Recently, this quote popped up on my phone for motivation and it said, “Each relationship nurtures a strength or a weakness within you.” - Micheal Murdock. It's true in every relationship even if you gain nothing else, you learn something about yourself whether that be good or bad. That really can be said about my last relationship and the things it taught me not only during the time of my relationship but how I acted in my next relationship. Here are four things that my ex taught me about myself:
