breakups

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

It Wasn't Love...
It wasn't love, it was loss. He took his time to understand who I was. He rummaged through every vulnerable piece of me. The man I thought I loved to what was going to be forever took my heart and shattered it into a million pieces. He had me wrapped around his finger until he found my weaknesses and used it against me. The most softest parts of me, I shared with someone I thought I could trust—yet he showed me exactly why even our own shadows leave us when we're in darkness. He wasn't your average guy. He was a man made up of doubt, negativity, and confusion. At one point, it reminded me of who I used to be, long ago. Only difference was, I managed to find my flaws and repair myself...

The Time I Fell for a Trap
We met, fell in love, and then the worst thing possible happened. We broke up. But our story doesn't end there. I eventually moved on and then I heard from him again. I didn't know what to expect. He hadn't been talking to me and then when he did, it was because he wanted to threaten me. He wanted to go and tell my mom that I was pregnant, which I wasn't. I agreed to meet with him to make sure he didn't come near my family, only me.

Dear Cheater, This Is How You've Changed Me
Everyone knows that being cheated on hurts, but the intensity of the pain is unbeknownst to the cheaters even if they’ve experienced being cheated on. The ugly truth is I was once a cheater but; since meeting my then boyfriend now husband, I have been reformed. There was a point in my life I had about three guys at once, two of them being my boyfriends and one being a new fling. The most awkward and stressful part was the day they all showed up to meet me at once, but that’s another story. There was a great love in my life who I couldn’t refrain from while dating my ex, so I am quite privy to being a scandalous cheater. So while I was dating my ex I met someone who made me want to stop being a playa playa from the Himalayas. I ended up calling it quits with my ex after two attempts, and was forever a changed woman. “ I DON’T CHEAT NO’MO!”( insert I am delivert meme).

Black Sheets
The first time I fell in love I was 19. I was naive, a bit lost, and especially innocent—as most young adults assumingly are.

The Spectrum Chronicles
So my first love shat on me from a great height (metaphorically, of course). He was the definition of an unrequited love: Heart smashing, feeling-crushing "love." I loved him from a one-sided fence for more than three years. Three years of hearing him tell me he wanted and preferred me, whilst popping off to visit his girlfriend on weekends. Looking back it's apparent I was his weekday romance.

Read This If You Can't Just Move On
People and things only have the power that we allow them to have in our lives, the power we give them. Without that, they are nothing. They have no effect on us, no meaning to us.

Love You to Death
There were no more Dear Diary entries. I couldn't write through this pain. I just took my shahada so I couldn't drink or smoke. I was perplexed but I needed an outlet. Screw it, I'm grabbing me a box of milds, I'll repent later.

Twisted Love
I saw him... He'd left a pair of Express jogger pants here and I'd folded them and placed them in the drawer with my clothes. But since everything blew up and we were forced to not speak any longer, those pants have been burning a hole in my mind. A week went by after the bomb dropped and let me tell you... that week was one of the hardest and longest weeks of my life. Not being able to see speak or touch him was really hitting me hard. I loved him. Over the two months that we'd spent every day together, I'd fought him and then watched as he tore down the wall I'd built after my ex-girlfriend. It was so effortless for him. After 10 years, he knows me well.

A Letter to My Ex
For a while, you made me laugh; you made me sing, you made me dance, you made me feel like I was worth everything in this lifetime. For a while, you made me think about the future. For a while, you made me happy. For a while...

The Heartache of Breaking Up with the Love of My Life
The pain of a break up doesn't just hit you when you actually break up. The truth is, it starts long before the actual break up.

The Story of My First Love
I remember it like it was yesterday. We met when we were 14. I was in a current relationship, he was not. We met in early April at a bonfire, as what most teens did. He came over to sit by me and we talked for a while then he grabbed my phone and added himself on snapchat. Our friends inside started a movie so mostly everyone went inside to watch a little bit of it before there parents came to pick them up.
