breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Revenge On The Internet
So my boyfriend and I broke up. Who is to be more anti Valentine's Day this year than me? I've been on a rollercoaster of emotions and more likely to listen to 'Love Stinks' from the wedding singer than 'I Can't Help Falling in Love With You' by Elvis Presley. And so who do I turn to for validation and support? (Friends?) No! Strangers on the internet, of course!

Remorseful Arrangements
In a warm two bedroom apartment a woman with long sable black hair, in a light blue cardigan , white tank and tights stared out her living room window on the seventh floor while drinking coffee from a white mug with a labradoodle on it. She did this from time to imagine the world as it was in her glory years before she turned thirty-five. Abruptly the phone began to ring frantically interrupting her memories of those wild days in Spain with Frank. She turned away from the wall sized window and walked over to answer the phone. "Hello", she answered. "Hello my name is Tyler Warren an attorney at Walls Law Firm in Savannah Georgia"... Her mind wandered back to the romantic nights she spent with a partner there. He was a lot older of course but if she could have only spent one night more. "Hello… are you still there…" Tyler asks. "Oh, sorry. Umm what were you saying again", she asked. "Yes is Katelynne Bryant available", he asked? " Umm yes. I'm Katelynn. Is there an issue? I promise I paid back all of those parking tickets", she exclaimed. Tyler chuckled and said, "Oh no Ms. Bryant this isn't about parking tickets. I was hoping we could meet sometime to discuss Joseph A. Garner. He may have left you property in his will" he gestured through the phone. Katelynne's cat Cosmo ran across her feet as she gasped for air and grabbed her flat tummy. She thought to herself, she hadn't seen Joseph in ten years and tears began to fall from her eyes. With a tremble in her voice and tears coming down her eyes Katelynn asked, "is Joseph okay"? " I would not like to speak about it over the phone. It is best that we speak face yo face. Is it anywhere you feel comfortable meeting? A favorite place" Tyler asks? "Sure let's meet at Roses Espresso".

Male perspective
I was really in love with her dude. I never thought that she would love me back. It's been 4 years that I gave my heart to her. Kayla would keep it so safe and gave me so much attention. I mean it was a lot of attention. So much that I love it. We been dating for 4 years now and everything is perfect.

Heartbreak & Heartache
As Valentine's day approaches the majority of us may be getting ready to have a date night with our significant other, or snuggle up and have a movie night considering the circumstances of the world we live in today, or some just might stay in the bed and do what grown folks do.

In Defense of Valentine’s Day, Sort of
Every February, all of those feelings of rejection and not being good enough come flooding back to me. My hatred of all things romantic started young. I was in elementary school the first time I learned what rejection felt like, and I would repeat it every year until adulthood.

Pocket Change
Sebastian stood in his living room and stared vacantly out the huge windows that overlooked Fifth Avenue. The hangover headache with which he’d awoken earlier was abating, although he wasn’t sure if it was the scotch he’d been nursing or the numerous ibuprofen he’d been washing down with it.

I Will Always Love You
"If I should stay, I would only be in your way. So I'll go but I know, I'll think of you each step of the way And I will always love you, I will always love you. Bittersweet memories, that is all I'm taking with me. Good-bye, please don't cry. We both know I'm not what you, you need And I will always love you, I will always love you I hope life treats you kind, and I hope you have all you've ever dreamed of. And I wish you joy and happiness, but above all this, I wish you love And I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I, I will always love you."

A secret, just for you.
I'll tell you something, just between us two. I'm old enough now to know better than to want to hold the venom rolling across my tongue hostage. It's going to dribble down my chin when my mind goes, and I'd rather it roll out coherently than in a spurt of nonsense.
