breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
The Words I May Never Say
July 23, 2020 Dear-Lover I’m not really sure when you will be getting this letter, considering I don’t know when I will send you your birthday gifts, but I hope no matter how late this is, you will still love it. I have tried to pick out items I know you will love (all of the NBC items) I have also tried to pick out meaningful gifts for you as well. Mostly, to show that I still care and love you. I mean I always will, you were my first love. Even though we didn’t turn out as we both may have hoped, I’m still happy with how things are. You are still in my life. You’re in my life in a much different way than most people would have thought. I never thought we would be as close as we are now even though we are not together.

Love Lost
I've always wanted to at least try and control every aspect of my life down to the "t". Whether it be college grades, a lover, even to what I might have for dinner. But sadly, at the age of twenty-two, I understood how this thing called reality works. You see, there is a saying; that time waits for no man. I mean, we all should believe this to be true because we don't have magical powers to make time stop when we won't but, I digress. Moving forward, allow me to let you into my very active mind.

The Truth Always Comes Out.
Black Friday, 2016. I was at a Chinese restaurant with my mother, one just off the busiest boulevard in town. The sky outside was dreary and gray, and it was cold for South Texas. Rain trickled lazily along the outside of the window next to me. Before me, tender strips of beef and cheerfully-green broccoli swam in a sticky, glossy, oaky sauce that stained my steamed white rice amber.

Emotional Abuse Didn’t Look How I Thought It Would
I met Liam* my junior year of college after I had gotten back from studying abroad, and was going through a serious depression. I was hopelessly in love with a man I had met while abroad and solely focused on him. Liam and I became friends when I returned for my senior year, I was going to therapy and working through my depression and anxiety. We connected over our complicated love lives. I liked him. He was easy to talk to and I didn’t feel like I needed to try and impress him because he was so accepting. He also had some major hangups about relationships based on his past. I pushed any idea of us being together out of my mind and figured we would just be friends.

A letter to my abuser
Dear Husband I love my children more than I hate you; That’s why the knife I was holding in my hands that afternoon continued to chop vegetables instead of your heart as you said the most contemptible things. I knew you were mean and abusive, but I had no idea your reign of terror could escalate to near-death experiences, until we were forced to live in the same house for all of 168 hours of the week.

Unsent Letter
To you...always you. Why is it always you, still? For a while I tried to avoid things that reminded me of you, but it never worked. You are literally everywhere, in everything, it was impossible. I had to learn to just not let everything, or anything, bring you back up the way I used to...took a little practice but, I got the hang of it. Now I’m a pro. Even when a song or a phrase or a name or a moment full of you comes unexpectedly, even when I’m not ready, even when I’m blindsided...it doesn’t knock me breathless anymore. If and when you happen to me, these days, its subtle. It’s more of a gentle tug than it is a punch in the face, and the effect barely lasts more than a beat or two before it’s gone.
