breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Where did it all go wrong?
Where did it all go wrong? It feels like unfinished business. You ran, you turned your back and left me feeling destroyed holding all the responsibility. I never told you what I should have when we were together. I held it all in. I miss the person I met; the person I knew before our family began. I cannot believe after all the things we have been through; I still dream about what could have been.

Merlot Eyes
On a cold breezy summer morning, you came by to have waffles and lay on the roof with me in the sun. I don’t know if you’re my soulmate or not, but if you’re not, you make me want to not meet them. I love the way you say my name. I love how you stand tall in your baggy jersey. I love looking into your eyes underneath the summer sun. I love just looking into your eyes. I want to be present in that moment – just looking at them. And this is exactly where I want to be. You look back into my eyes. Your gaze as blue as the grapes crushed to make the Merlot in your glass.

You See, the Trick Is....
“How do we reach it?” Kalisa John asked. Her new beau, Mannix Malveaux, stood beside her. On their first date, they decided to master a Dover, Delaware escape room. The prize was five thousand dollars each, a gourmet dinner, and a bottle of Merlot.

Does it get better?
You know, 2020 was a pretty shitty year. I mean for everyone but if I can be a little self-absorbed, it sucked for me too. 2021 only became an extension of that. 2020 was supposed to be the year of possibilities, travel, and hope. Instead, it was the year of a pandemic, the loss of my career, and the beginning of the end of my three-year relationship with the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. During my eight months of unemployment in 2020, I had worked out, started writing again, got aligners to fix my teeth, finished a degree, and went back to school. I was feeling pretty good aside from my career becoming a bust because the entertainment industry took a massive hit.

A special connection from the past
You are thinking about that special connection from the past. He decided to walk away and give up on the relationship. You felt a deep connection to him, and in your gut, you know that he did not walk away because he did not love you. Either way, you are questioning your trajectory and what you should do next. You want to start anew but you are having a hard time doing so. There is a constant background feeling connecting you to him. If you could just turn off those feelings like a switch so you could move forward. There is nothing worse than wanting to move on but feeling stuck.

The Golfball Anecdote
It was half way through July in 2019 when a storm broke out that wouldn't subside for the next three weeks. The next three weeks were self-isolation before self-isolation; melancholy, loneliness, and boredom were the three rulers of the house and all I cared about was finding creative ways to avoid studying for mid-years.
