breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
In the Words of Padfoot
Dear Padfoot, I know you will never see this but I thought I would write this. I have to get my feelings out. I loved you. I don’t mean the thing you say when you are sixteen to your boyfriend or girlfriend of two weeks. But the kind where I considered it to be real. I no longer feel that way about you. I now have stronger feelings for someone else. I felt betrayed by you. I felt upset that you threw away a four-year friendship on a whim. From what I’ve heard recently you have done this to a lot of people. I’m sorry you and Holly didn’t work out. I kinda already knew it wouldn’t work. So, I will leave it at that. Luke has taught me that sometimes its better to let people go rather than keep them in your life when they nothing to help you get better. I depended on you for my happiness and stability which wasn’t fair on you I get that. But a true friend wouldn’t leave when I push them away. Luke never has. Through all the shit I throw his way he breaks down my barriers and gets me to open up. You never did that for me. What you still hadn’t learnt about me is that I don’t just open up you need to get it out of me with a hammer and chisel. You have to dig and dig to find the issue that needs to be talked about otherwise I won't talk about it. But then you wouldn’t know that because it was all poems and metaphors which never really helped me. But I loved them because I loved you. That’s over now. I don’t love you anymore.

10 Signs Your Ex Is Haunting You
I've been ghosted. You've been ghosted. Ghosted, ghosted, ghosted. In modern society, ghosting has become the "law of the West." The culture of ghosting is everywhere because we're all yellow-bellied individuals with no sense of integrity.

Heart Break
If there’s one thing in this world I could ever ask for is your love once more. Even if it lasts for a night, I just want another taste of it. Without you, I am nothing, I am a shell of someone I forced myself to become. This confident boy you see is just a facade, without you. I hide behind it, so you don’t realize that not having you as mine is killing me. I act cocky, and like an asshole, because I’m ashamed of showing my real face. Ashamed of letting you see I’m crushed when you’re gone. What hurts the most is remembering how you used to look at me. During those quiet moments that we shared, just you and me, with no care in the world. The only thing that mattered to me in that moment was you.

How to Get Back at an Ex (While Still Being Classy)
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."—Proverb I'm a person who has seen the ugly side of humanity, and its ugliest faces have revealed themselves to me in the dating scenes. I've seen abusers, thieves, users, cheaters, and narcissists put good, innocent people through unspeakable amounts of pain.

The Healer and the Anti-Hero
I knew you were an anti-hero from the start. Neither a villain, or a hero. I suppose the good thing about is you don't pretend to be someone you're not. You fully know you're not the bad guy, but you're also not the good guy either. You carry a sense of morals with just a dash of bad-assery. You have a moral compass but you only follow it when it suits you. I knew all these things about you, but yet I somehow ended up talking to you anyway. Knowing it meant trouble. Knowing it meant that you would only care when it was convenient. Knowing that you're damaged goods.

Why?
I just wish I knew why. Why out of all people you would hurt and betray me like this. I trusted you. I trusted you with my heart, body, and soul. And you hurt me in the worst way. You knew. You knew I had a stroke. And you lied to my face. Not only did you act like you didn't know, but you didn't care. You didn't care that I could, would, and should be dead right now. You were selfish. You only thought about your problems and instead of trying to work things out with someone who loved you unconditionally and with her entire being, she would do anything for you. But you humiliated her. You broke her heart in front of everyone. You made me feel so ugly. So fat. So stupid. So worthless. And I held you so high up on a pedestal. I talked about you to everyone and anyone who would listen. I stood up for you when anyone would say why am I with you. I didn't give a sh** what anyone ever said because I loved you and it didn't matter to me what anyone in the world thought of that. But not only did you never stand up for me, but you always took everyone else's side. And I still loved you. And you kept a huge secret from me. Why you chose to break my heart knowing I had a major stroke, that is the most hurtful thing anyone has ever done to me. I'd rather you cheated on me. I could forgive you more easily than for this. This makes me feel like you wanted me dead. Like you didn't care whether I was dead or alive. Like I meant NOTHING to you. And you were always my hero. I've written Poetry about how much I look up to you and love you. I've thought about you for every holiday and I'm still in debt for everything I've bought you. But see, that isn't what bothered me. It was that you never showed me you appreciated any of it. Nothing was ever good enough. Nothing I did, nothing I said, nothing. And slowly you stopped noticing me. You just saw right through me like I was some invisible being or a ghost. I just wanted to feel like you loved me. Like I was good enough for you. But no matter how much I expressed that, nothing ever changed. I know I have problems. I know I have anger issues. I know I curse too much. I know I get jealous too easily. But NOBODY'S perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. And I don't deserve this.

Break Ups Before Self-Care?
Break ups are hard. They even feel impossible at times... and honestly, when I read posts or watch youtubers talking about how to get through a breakup, I hate hearing “just focus on yourself, self care...” Yes, of course, that’s true. But what I really wanted to know was how to get through the pain before the self care? This is what I learned.
