Why love came to kill us in the words of Jessie Reyez
Artist Jessie Reyez wrote a song called "When Love Came to Kill Us" off her album "BEFORE LOVE CAME TO KILL US." I felt like the song is something to mention because when Reyez wrote that "I know nobody gets outta love alive/We either breakup when we're young or we say goodbye when we die/" I felt that. I want to hone on young breakups. College or post-college breakups are the ones that really leave a mark on the heart once you grace the doors of adulthood.

My Ex Boyfriend Is Holding My Stuff Hostage (My Ex Boyfriend Has My Stuff and Won't Give It Back)
It is natural after a breakup, especially when you still care very deeply for your ex, to be curious as to how they feel about you. The idea that they may still love you and possibly even want you back seems like pretty nonsensical in your mind right now.

What’s Up with Commitment-phobic Men?
Imagine that you’ve been seeing a guy for several months and the chemistry is great. There have been a few red flags, but no deal breakers—not even close. The two of you have gotten into a routine—spending nights together, going on weekend trips, meeting family and friends. You’re feeling connected—and possibly even in love. You’d like to define the relationship—Is he your boyfriend? Are you exclusive? But when you test the waters to see if he’s feeling the same way, he becomes distant and anxious.

Lingering Heart
Who do you think you are? Stepping into a life so pure, changing perspective and expecting more. We were just friends who help each other grow, and now you live in my head wanting me to love you forever more—breaking me down from light to shadow, making me hate to love and the things that follow. Hurting in doses like a disease in transit, loving someone else now feels like roaches on the carpet.

I wish I could tell you I hate you.
I wish I could tell you I hate you. I wish I could tell you that I don’t understand why you’d hurt me. But I’ll never get the chance. Because everything’s already happened. They say hindsight is 20/20 and I should have known. I should have seen it in the way you always left. The way you stopped calling. The way you stopped looking at me the same way. My heart was already breaking then. I just didn’t know it. I didn’t want to believe it. But I don’t actually think I hate you. I hate everything you did to me. I hate everything I let you do.

Stepping stones
So bright and sunny, I nearly forgot what was bothering me. Thankfully, my looming dark cloud keeps a disorganized notepad for me, with the most pressing and anxiety-provoking concerns written on the outside in bold comical letters.

12 Commandments for the Pragmatic Romantic
In an era where dating complaints abound, I would like to propose the antithesis of the hopeless romantic archetype, which I call the "pragmatic romantic." Pragmatic romanticism is grounded in reality and respects the sanctity of commitment but also appreciates the beauty of human connection.
