breakups

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

Overflow Parking
We had broken up in the overflow parking of a grocery store, A Real Canadian Superstore to be exact, just behind a Pizza Hut. And the first thing out of his mouth was, “Please don’t name the turkey after me.”

I found me, losing you
Online school was such a pain. I had no one other than one friend I had left from the usual brick and mortar horror I had to face every day for 10 years. 10 years? I'm not even sure how I survived and made it through. Well I didn't because there I was now; facing a screen with the little self discipline I had. Working at the movie theater and the dread of spending time to finish my classes to earn a simple piece of paper, or a diploma, as others would call it was a nightmare. It was so lonely it hurt. I was a kid who needed some fun and friends.

How A Breakup Got Me On The Right Path
In the summer after my high school graduation--when one phase of my life had ended but the other hadn’t quite begun--I was frozen, mid-leap, hanging in the air, trying to figure out who I was and how the hell I was supposed to know how to be an adult.

Negative Energy Dump it.
How do you heal yourself when someone leaves you with a broken heart? Failures and mistakes are a part of our lives. We all do it. But the attitude we have toward them separates the successful people from the unsuccessful people.

Shades of Green
She was the first one to make me feel that unsettling and bone chilling way I did when she held me. When she wrapped me in her twisted arms and kissed me with her lying lips on my forehead. This strange feeling of longing for acceptance, even when I was right there intertwined with her broken body. Always wondering where we stood, always wondering what she thought in that demon infested mind of hers. And she was the first person I have ever been in love with who didn't love me back.

I Was Sure I Had Hit Rock Bottom So Why The Continual Downwards Spiral
Standing on the side of the road, with everything I owned on the ground beside me, I watched the love of my life drive away, taking my heart and a piece of my soul with him. From this day forward, I would never again be whole, I was officially and everlastingly broken.

What I did wrong
The swings, I reminised back to when that was my goal. The only thing I wanted to get on and dwell in my thoughts in. It was just something about the wind brushing through your hair and the altitude giving you that adrenline rush. Talking to myself and prentending to have conversations with my crush. Listening to music of the 80's even though I was already two decades older. Just being completely. Utterly. Alone. Just how I liked it. It wasn't till today at 19 years old I realized how much I missed it and how embarssing it was to be a legal adult swinging back in forth. peeping out in the corner of my eye to make sure no one was staring. This was COVID times.
