breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Losing Friends as You Grow
One thing that nobody truly understands when they are younger is that not every person in your life is meant to stay in your life. It is a simple fact of life and nature that as you get older, some people will drop off from your life.

Thrown to the Unknown
The night was humid. No; it was moist, like tears of laughter, or overflowing sadness. It was difficult to distinguish between them for anyone observing the scene, although most would have eventually chosen the so-called positive type. What is there to laugh about? Even Charlie Chaplin made me cry. Woody Allen made me laugh but rarely out loud. Irony is ironclad, only rusting succinctly to allow itself to resonate beyond the brain. Sarcasm is drier but it can move like a train. Cynicism rules now in aware minds, as ignorance and stupidity continue to score.

Heteroflexible and Bisexual
Is there a difference between someone who is bisexual and someone who is heteroflexible? Short answer, yes, there is a difference. It is easy to get the two confused, and honestly, easy to understand why they are easily seen as the same thing by many people.

Entry #1 or Texting on Holiday
It's my mother's 50th tomorrow. My sister and I decided to take her away for the weekend, to a remote hotel with all the works. Breakfast buffet with too much to choose from, a heated pool where you're required to wear swimming caps (thus, killing the whole aesthetic), a complete spa with all the stone balancing paintings you will ever need, complimentary white robes (obviously), and the occasional wild horse running around the property, increasing the price of our room's view.

The True Cost of Waiting for an Unsure Partner
When someone we care for hesitates to fully commit, it is easy to view waiting as being patient with them, or a sign of true love. We tell ourselves that if we just give it a little more time, understanding, or space, their hesitation will eventually resolve into certainty - and in our favour. But there is always a high price to pay for putting your life on hold, and being in emotional limbo, while you wait hopefully for someone to make up their mind whether they really want you in their life, or not.

Why 'Taking It Slow' Might Be Sabotaging Your Dating Life
How often have strangers who wish to date one another talk about 'not rushing' things, being 'friends first' or 'taking it slow’? That's a fine sentiment that can offer more time to get to know that stranger, but the key reason why anyone seeks 'friendship first' is not likely to be positive.

Anxious That Your Partner Is Still Swiping on a Dating App?
Entering a relationship should bring a sense of security, yet few things undermine that peace quite like the lingering suspicion that your partner hasn't fully closed the door on their single life. Discovering - or simply fearing - that your partner might still be active on a dating app, like Tinder and Bumble, is likely to trigger an immediate feeling of anxiety, self-doubt, and betrayal. Suddenly, you are left questioning where you stand, whether your connection is being treated as dispensable, and how to protect your own emotional well-being without jumping to unfounded conclusions.

I Remember It All
We met when I was only 15 A couple of girls in the back of an '89 Bronco seat I was holding his hand but it was you I found Makin silly videos, turnin the speakers up loud We spent every October lookin for a scare blacked out eyeliner and bright colored hair We spent more time together than I ever did with him We swore we were queens and our light would never dim (Chorus) And I remember it all. I remember everything. How a perfect friendship faded into nothing... Ridin in the Bronco just to feel the bass hit We were gonna be forever We were gonna make it Now I'm lookin at the photos of who we used to be Runnin through Yosemite, wild and free Yeah, I remember it all... We grew up fast in the cover of the trees Summers at the lake, Winters in Yosemite sittin in the theatre, Twilight on the screen Blastin Katy Perry, livin in a teenage dream We shared our first drinks. We drew on the walls. We got our first ink. We stood through it all. But lines started blurring and the house started shakin I left Yosemite and our bond started breakin Suddenly, I'm the villain for walkin away from a boy who lied and cheated on me day after day (Chorus) Years flew by and the dust finally settled down We're both married to different people in different towns We barely talk. Worlds apart. Livin separate lives. But the funny thing about how time survives... We both had little girls first holding our hands growing up in a world we could've never planned And I wonder if they'll ever find a bond like ours before the storm came and left us with these scars. 💚🩷 Myspace Youtube Emo clothes and winger liner weirdo selfies photo shoots night clubs trips to Santa Cruz Boomers and the mall SCREAMING Brokencyde hookah lounges haunted houses tongue rings Ouija boards all the firsts... with you. 💚🩷 (Chorus) Now I'm just watching through a rear view mirror It's foggy for you, but for me, it's still so clear Our families are growing, we're livin different lives but a piece of those teenagers always survives Now I'm the bad guy... but I was your best friend I remember it all. Even the end.
