breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Love, Lust, Abuse
Acceptance, relationships—we as humans are naturally social creatures. We strive for perfection, acceptance, and love. We try to use these skills to make new friends. Sometimes this blooms into something more. Love is a huge concern for most people. We look for it, and in most cases it happens unexpectedly. But other occasions we have it without realizing it’s not love, it’s control.

If You Love Someone, Let Them Go
It’s funny how things can turn out all in your favor; it’s funny how our feelings are just temporary. I got over the breakup situation with my ex but not my feelings of love for him. I saw him for the first time after not contacting him for a month, and it was hard to see him because he was still going down a dark path. He was arrested, still doing drugs, and could possibly be going to jail soon. The girl he cheated with was still obsessed with him and kept calling him the whole time he was with me. I genuinely believed that he really did not have feelings for her and was using her like he told me. It’s a really bad situation that I’m happy I’m out of. All the people in his life currently he is just using, and all he cares about is drugs right now.

The Party to End All Parties
When I was first dating my boyfriend, there was a girl that was married to a guy I knew from school. So it came as a surprise when she was trying to be up my boyfriends' butt. I mean literally. This girl did not care that he had a girlfriend and did not like me for the simple fact that I was around him period. She hated that he was bringing me around his friends.

Is Hope Hopeless?
As long as I can remember, I've had this internal picture within my brain. In it, I am sat at a breakfast bar in what I assume is my kitchen. It's a clean, modern room. The sun is delicately warming my face. It's early morning, but I'm not tired. I clearly had a good night sleep and am reading the newspaper with a small glass of juice and a steaming cup of coffee perched beside my hand. Raspberry jam lays neatly on some toast that has been hovering around my mouth for a good few moments as the black and white pages of the newspaper captivate my interest. There is a half tied tie hanging down from my neck and my hair is still damp from the morning shower.

In Another Lifetime
I still remember the first time my eyes met yours. I was rendered speechless by the kindness and compassion, the swirls of blues and greens, and the way your eyes had the depth of an ocean beneath them. I was beside myself, for never before had I been so drawn to another person in my life. We tried to fight it, tried to deny it, but the bond we grew to share became unbreakable and we could no longer pretend. People tried to keep us apart but it merely fed the desire like oil to a flame. We became inseparable within a few months. Romeo and Juliet quickly became a building block in our relationship. We clung to every second as if it was our last and gave each other a part of ourselves we didn't know we had to give. We did everything together and eventually started to shut people out one by one. All we needed and wanted in that moment was each other. We were blissfully unaware that this was the start of an horrific end.

A Heart Matters
I admit that I am a hopeless romantic. Since my adolescent years I have dreamed of nothing but the day my king would find me and save me. For years I’ve searched for love only to find out that love isn’t so black and white. Love is like an onion to me. Just when I though I understood love and had it under control another heartbreak would peel off another layer of love.

I'm Ripped Apart
I keep writing and rewriting this piece, hoping to eventually find the strength to explain how much pain I'm in. How every, "I'm sorry," and, "Things will work out for the better," makes me feel like someone keeps pressing a button on a blender that someone forced into my insides, pulsing my stomach and heart to bits. I mean, I know that heartbreak is a normal part of life and that no one can be expected to live forever with the person that they love, but still. It's been months now, and I still can't get her out of my head.
