breakups

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

To the Best Friend I Thought Would Never Hurt Me: Thanks for Breaking My Heart
I confided in you, told you all my fears, my dreams, everything. You let me believe that opening up was going to be okay, that opening up to you was going to be a good thing.

Does Having Disabilities Affect Your Relationship?
Here's my story of one relationship I was in. I thought I found the right woman, but it didn't turn out too well. I was always very shy, quiet, and nervous. I don't always do well with conversations or in a large group of people or out in public. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and Attention deficit disorder as a kid. So I didn't have much of a good childhood if you know what I mean. I wasn't any good at talking to girls either. I didn't start having girlfriends until I was seventeen. But that's not what I want to talk about today.

Blank Space
As I sit here, in our old coffee shop, a flood of emotions have emerged. I see a dream, beautiful yet a typical one. We are ordering ice tea! You telling me “Yeek! I don't like ice tea,” and I say “Just sip a bit, you'll love it." With our typical jokings, typical love talkies, scolding people I don't like. Smiling, laughing taking selfies. I keep seeing this dream.

All or Nothing Kind
Sometimes, we meet people who sparked and shined brighter than anyone else. For the lucky ones, they stay and end up together. For the unlucky ones, like you and me, it is fleeting. Perfect for a moment and gone the next.

Falling out of Love and Why It Hurts More Than Getting Your Heart Broken
All the movies and books and songs talk about falling in love. It is all romanticized... hyper-romanticized. But what about falling out of love? Why don't more people talk about that?

But I Still Love You...
I loved you because you wanted me. You chose me above the rest of the world. You were 100 percent certain. Not only that, but you knew how to love me in exactly the way I yearned for. It was perfect. I loved everything about you. Our similarities were mind blowing and our chemistry was powerful. You told me all the dreams i'd been dreaming all my life like they could be real. It was all your idea, and I was ever so happy to be swept up in it all. That’s how it was for a while, and then things began to change.

Love. Rebel. Evolution
Being as I'm an observer throughout this whole situation that involves my roommate, his friend of six years, my roommate's ex, and I guess me to an extent, I'll try to keep a subjective opinion as possible until the end and explain the facts, at least the facts that I know, starting from the beginning.

An Open Letter to My Ex: Thank You for Breaking Up with Me
After spending a lot of hours pitying myself for our breakup, I’ve realized a lot of things. Sure, we had a lot of wonderful times. You took me on beautiful hikes across the US, you stuck with me through all the drama I caused within my family, you showed me what it is like to let go and have fun once in a while, but most of all, you taught me how to love. You taught me that I am worthy of love and that I am capable of giving love. And if I can do it once, I can surely do it again.

The Fine Line
When someone walks out of your life, there's a fine line between the people who are worth fighting for and the ones to let go of.

Avoid Those with Silver Tongues
Vertical Horizon's lyrics of "He says all the right things, at exactly the right time" have become an omen of oncoming treachery to me. Since being introduced to the song ("Everything You Want") by an ex boyfriend of mine, I've become wary of any person that is a smooth talker and seems to say "everything you want to hear."

The Game Is Over
When my ex, Kevin, left me I had a really difficult time accepting the end. I experienced fits of rage, often toward people who didn't deserve it. It was almost like my mind was subconsciously digging for to be mad about and cling to as a form of release.
