breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
My ex had a secret fiancé and 2 kids.. If I can move on, so can you!
If anybody knows heartbreak it's me; I've had my heart ripped out, torn to pieces, put back in place then stomped on all over again more times than I can count! - (admittedly most times it was by the same person - but I'm not the first to go back to a toxic ex and I definitely won't be the last - don't judge!) So if you're sat at home right now, heartbroken, crying, feeling like there's no next step and everything hurts; then give this a read. As nice as we all like to claim we are, there's nothing better when your life is going downhill than finding out that someone else is just slightly more of a mess than you are - we're all human! And that's what I'm here for, to provide a tragically sad, yet humorous (if you're not me) story to let you know that no matter how bad your day was, it could've been worse, a.k.a you could be me. so here it goes, you're welcome...

Quarantine Truth
The beginning of this quarantine was scary. Everything happened so fast. Within a matter of days I was working from home. Thinking by September, we’d all be back to work, well, we know how that went. Early on, adjusting to home life wasn’t easy, it became pretty hard as a matter of fact. On top of finally working from home, I was now also a teacher’s assistant. Having to make sure my kid was paying attention in class and doing the assigned work, ON TIME, it became a little overwhelming.

7 Best Ways on How to Handle an Abrupt Breakup & Heal Faster
I remember it was Saturday morning. I just got back from the gym — trying my best to make myself feel good. Because at that point, I barely communicated with him. However, I also realized that things already went south and as much as I tried to save the relationship, there’s no way we can go back to where we used to be.

Ghosted
You’d never know our bodies have ever shared a common place. You’d never know we’d tasted each other's sweat. You’d never know we made promises in closets of random remodels or slept together on cold basement floors. You’d never know we laughed about life and got stupid high just because we could. You’d never know we'd snuck around like teenage kids for nearly 4 years yet we were no secret to those who knew us best. You’d never know we’ve ever even said “Hello” let alone “I love you.” To anyone who didn’t know any better – you and I would appear to be complete strangers. And that makes my heart hurt more than you will ever know.

Amanda's Break-up Playlist
Breaking up is hard to do, especially if you are married and you have to face the facts that you are now going to have to get a divorce. You are going to have a failed marriage and break your family apart. Even if you are just a young couple that breaks up it can be a really depressing time . You want to curl up in a ball and just die or you want to cry your eyes out curled up in a little ball. You do not want to leave the house , you just want to sleep or maybe you are not eating maybe you are eating too much. Everybody grieves in different ways, but what I have always found therapeutic is to have a break up song list . I think that music really heals and it can be uplifting and so when I am having to go through a break up the one thing that I try to do is listen to my music. The music that can help me get through the dark parts of a break up so that I can see brighter days . Days Ahead that are going to be filled with less pain , less hurt. It is going to take time to get over a break up , especially if you are married and have to get a divorce and if you have kids involved, if you have been together for a long time , or if you were living together at the time. This is a really hard not just on you physically but mentally and emotionally aaswell. This is my list of songs that I listen to whenever I'm going through an especially hard breakup ,which fortunately for me I have only experienced a couple of times so I feel very fortunate that I have not had to go through all the trials and tribulations that some of these other women have had to go through. I can , however say say that the few break ups that I have been through have been kind of horrific and from people that I really truly did love and care about , that I was even friends with . That is sometimes even harder is when you are not only romantically involved with somebody who they are also very good friend of yours too. My first serious boyfriend that I ever broke up with I felt like I lost a lot with him because he was just my boyfriend , some guy that I lived with, he was also a really good friend we had a lot of fun together. You have to laugh you have to find something that gives you enjoyment because if you don't and if you can't get your feelings out , you will never move past them. Then every day until you could get over that breakup you are going to be in the worst shape that you could possibly be in and you can not heal that way. So next time you are facing a heartbreak listen to these songs and maybe they will help you like they would help me. Just remember you deserve better, you are worth better and you will find it someday.

Dear 2020
Dear 2020, I’m writing this letter addressed to you as dear but you haven’t always been ‘dear’ to me this year. In January, you tore my heart out of my chest and squeezed as hard as you could. In February, March, April, May and June, you sat and watched me fall apart over and over again and the only hand you could lend me was time. During these months, I re-discovered my strength and my worth with the help of an army of friends and family. No stronger army had I ever seen.

Treason in love
I am about to tell you the story of my former relationship and how things real nasty, hiding behind love and lies. Back in 2012, I was 20-21 at the time. Just back from living 2 years in the western province of Alberta. I had a drug problem at the time, with cocaine. The problem was really in Calgary so moving back to Montreal hnelped alot in my getting control back on my life. So in the first week me being back, I was meeting with my best friends and we planned on get some "snow". Once we found the hookup we had to go meet others to pick it up. A girl that for the purpose of this story, her name shall be Jessica. We go to Jessica's place and there is another girl there, really hot girl at first glance. Blonde hair, brown eyes, nice butt and beautiful face. Her name was Jenni. And her and i simply hit it off from the start. She did have a boyfriend at the time but she was still all over me for some reason. After a bit she dumped the asshole she was with and quickly became mine. We moved in together after a month... I was doing stupid shit for money and drugs at the time as we both were on the white on a regular basis. And its not cheap. One night I needed money to party with my girl as usual. But this time I was going to get caught by the police and get arrested and end up going to jail. Now what I didn't mention is that the girl I was dating, Jenni, use to be an escort, in the prostitution kinda way. But at the time I guess I was able to forget about it. But it was always in the back of my mind and I was constantly reminded of it. But I loved her very much. So now I'm in prison for 22 months. We break up for a bit and she completely cuts all communication with me. Now for you to understand where I'm going with this. My parents were in the escort and prostitution world. Doing it themselves and also making girls work. They had a second appartement made only for the clients to feel safe and comfortable. As I went to Prison, at Bordeaux prison in Montreal. I told my girlfriend to go see my parents to get help. All this time passes and I'm often calling my girl from inside. Never was I thinking she would ever do what she was doing while I was in prison.. I did end up going to therapy after 16 months of my sentence. Jenni came to visit me at the therapy. After 6 months I end up back home with my girlfriend and everything is great. One day we're in the bus back from downtown Montreal, and we're in a fight with my mother because of what they're doing for "work" and neglecting the children, my siblings, and it's Jenni that is texting my mother. Long story short Jenni ends up saying to my mother, that she shall stop talking to me and leave us alone. And this is where my heart dropped to my stomach. The feeling you get deep inside when you catch someone cheating on you or betraying you enough to be hurtful. My mother text's back this : Oh! Yeah jenni, you better stay out of me and me sons relationship if you dont want me to show him to videos of what you did here with us... I swear, the feeling that i got in my chest.. Never have I ever felt this way. My mother saying this to my girlfriend... The fact the I was stuck on a moving bus help her situation. But the fact was I was incredibly hurt and discusted of this girl I've been with for almost 4 years at the time. I wanted to scream at her, I'm not sure what I was thinking at the time but I was holding on to my rage. I'm trying to understand what just happened and my brain is still processing this news. I want to know why my mother is saying this which means that she knows about it ? Was she apart of this, or was it my father, I just had so many questions and at the same time I wanted to break everything and anything in my way. As we get home, I'm screaming at her and demanding her to explain this bullshit to me. She admits that she was broke and needed to pay the electricity bill. And She said that my parents offered her to do it there with them instead of alone or with strangers. At this point I'm freaking the fuck out and I feel betrayal like never before. My own parents.. My girlfriend.. Who I thought was the love of my life. She admits to me that she did it twice and that it was with the same person. Some older man, 40-45 years old. I feel so discusted at this point and feel like crying and just walk away, far away. But I'm facing this situation and I need to find out the truth. The total truth. No matter how hurtful it might be. I can't stop but thinking about my mother and father filming my girlfriend while she's fucking some stranger in my parents sex appartement. At this point I'm so confused. It's hard to believe that my parents would accept this and go on and help their son's girlfriend to prostitute herself. While they're watching, let me mention. As Jenni is explaining herself and I'm trying to decide what I'm gonna do with all of this shit, I ask Jenni when she was going to admit this to me if my mother hadn't spilled the truth not knowing that I was going to read that text. And Jenni says to me that she wasn't planning on ever telling me. I ask her if my dad had anything to do with this and she keeps saying that he didn't know but something in me just knew that that made no sense for him not to know when he was the one organizing everything, finding to clients, posting ads and also texting with customers and making appointements, anyway he had a huge part in it so I knew. We lived in the same appartement building but we were one story higher then my parents sex appartement. I was only waiting for him to get home so I could confront him on it. The part I forgot to mention is that when I was in jail, my father also was doing some time for the same charges as me. At the beginning we weren't able to be in the same wing but it wasn't long before I had made a request to be transfered to the same wing as my father. It took a week or two for the prison administration to accept my request. Finally it happens and we even ended up being neighbours. Anyway, my fathers sentence ended before mine and he ended up leaving 3 or 4 months before me. Its weird but being inside together had brought us closer. At least I thought so... But now I had realized that all that time in jail he knew and had done what he let happen with Jenni. The whole time we we're in prison together he was lying right to my freaking face. So ya, betrayal is the least I can name these actions. Anyway, as of today, I am single and happier to be alone then having bad company. I don't speak to my father anymore. My ex even told me me that he was drunk or high one night and tried to kiss her and was telling her how hot she was and had a nice ass... My goddamn father can you believe this? And he is actually still in the penitentiary for pimping out girls and even something related to a 16 year old that was working for him. He got 4 years for all that. Now he's coming out on the 27th of January. But I really don't want to speak to him and certainly less see him. After what he did. I remember him so many times flashing his big pile of cash. Always saying he had money and shit. And the time that my girlfriend needed help, he offers her to work instead of lending her a bit of money to pay the hydro bill. I can't believe this girl asked to work and put her pride on the side and do this discusting shit, while you have a boyfriend. was it really worth your dignity? For a couple hundred bucks you open yourself up to anyone? I can't understand that. But If you read this whole story, I wish to thank you. I haven't told many people about this, specially not people I don't know. Like on a creators platform such as vocal. So once again, thank you very much for taking the time to read my experience and I hope you enjoyed it even though it can be read as sad.
