My Toxicity Ruined My Relationships
There is no beating around the bush, I was the downfall of my own relationships... I'd met him in October 2017 following the destruction of my last relationship with someone from another country. I hadn't been expecting to find someone that I would connect with for another several months, perhaps years. 'S' came into my life at a point where my mental health had began taking a turn for the worse and has carried on into my present day life.

We Broke Up...
It's over. How do you even begin to wrap your head around that? Regardless of the length of a relationship, having it end is so raw and sad and relieving and terrifying all at once. You always see in the movies break ups being depicted in a certain way; the dumped is always sad and eating ice cream out of a tub whereas the dumper is usually unfazed by the new development in their life and seemingly continues on with their days without any care. But that is not true. Break ups do not always have a clear, black and white victim and villain.

Him
The first time I saw him in person, I walked by him on purpose. What was I doing here? I’d made plans to meet up with him knowing I only saw him as a friend, but suspecting he wanted more. I was married. He was in a long term relationship with the mother of his two kids. We could be nothing more than friends. So I walked by when I realized he either hadn’t seen me, or didn’t recognize me. We’ll call him Jay.

Soulmate Gone Wrong
Here's a story about a guy I thought was my soulmate. It all starts off when I was about 14 or 15-years-old. My cousin came over for the weekend and there was a mall close to my house, so we decided to go there one day. I've been to that mall many times before and always recognized this one really cute guy. That day was different, though. He wasn't just a guy I dreamed of liking me. He was the guy who liked me.

Being in Love with Someone Who Isn’t in Love with You
What is love technically? It is versatile and could be defined in many ways and can take on many forms. It is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person/attraction that includes sexual desire.” They were not kidding when they meant constant affection for a person. Constant meaning I cannot get this man out of my head...even though we are no longer together anymore. I wish someone made a dictionary or guide line book to help me fall out of love with someone because it would sure come in handy right now. Being in love with someone who is not in love with you/no longer in love with you is probably one of the most soul crushing events in life. More soul crushing than getting pants in front of the whole middle school type of event. Bad, I know...So the question is when do I stop trying for someone who has stopped trying for me? When will the time come that I won’t bother to message your phone, stalk your social media pages, and call you so we can see each other? When is the time right for me to let go of the memories we once created and are even creating now? Like the way you held me when I was feeling the most broken two years ago and you made me feel as if I wasn’t broken anymore. Like the way we made love last night and created even more memories that will flash throughout my mind in the most inconvenient of times. When it is time for me to come first? The time where I am the one saying goodbye to you and that I can no longer continue to torture myself with your love. I long for the day that I do not have to beg to be loved by someone, to beg for someone’s time and affection. That day will come soon, when I build up the courage to say “enough is enough” because I know my worth and it’s worth more than this. I do not deserve to be half loved, when he knows damn well I always put one hundred and ten percent into loving him. The day will come where I am the one moving on and he will be begging for my love...and I won’t give it to him because I’ve always deserved more than that.

You Are Power
So we go through life with many happy times, many sad times. Some so painful we can't even understand the whys and the whos, the whats and the wheres. But we carry it regardless. We carry it in our minds and hearts. On our shoulders and in our backs. The emotional pain of life appears in the physical and we often see it as our body breaking, but rarely that our soul is trying to tell us something. Our higher self pushes these emotions through our body, so we can recognise and heal our emotional wounds.
