When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
When to Walk Away From a Relationship
I'm all for fighting for a relationship but the relationship has to be one to fight for. It has to be healthy and benefit both partners. I'm the queen of staying longer than I should. The people in the relationship also has to be getting something out of the relationship. So how do you know that you need to leave? Let's dive in!

It's Not Over
You feel alone... The worst part of being dumped is always the intense feeling of loneliness that goes alongside of it. Heartbreak has always been a feeling powerful enough to drive people to do ridiculous things, from the battle of troy in Greek mythology to the horrifying stabbing at Coral Gables Senior High in 2009. The reality of how powerful a broken heart can be, has made echos throughout the entire history of mankind. We find ourselves, under these circumstances, behaving differently then we normally would. Doing things we would not normally ever do, usually quick with little or no thinking involved. Love can indeed make you crazy...

A Couple Things I Learned While on a Camping Trip with My Ex
The Breakup Backstory To start off, I will tell you why we broke up. This helps to set up the whole camping experience. (I’m going to call him Tate for easy reference.) So Tate and I had not really dated for all that long. We were only together for about two and a half months or so. Before we were dating we were really good friends—you would not really see one of us with out the other. After we got together this was still the case. We seemed to be really happy, then all of a sudden that changed.

A Story of a Quiet Queer
Let's hope that the more personal I get with the world, the closer I will feel with coming to terms with my sexuality. Being the Outcast is not foreign to me. When I was growing up I felt safe alone. Writing stories, songs, poems, and singing to myself. Being among people for recreation was a source of anxiety that is unspeakable. When you create your own life in your head you become your own best friend. But, in my case, I did not treat myself like a friend, more like an intimidating stranger.

Things to Say & Ask Before a Breakup
This is the kind of article that, frankly, we wish everyone would read. We say that because, although we can’t think of one person who looks forward to going through a breakup, our personal experiences have taught us that breakups are hard because of how they are done. Breaking up with someone isn't easy, but they are normal. Normally though, they are usually done poorly because the person doing the breaking didn’t think about what to say—or ask—beforehand.

She Woke Up Different
We often wonder how far we can be pushed or what our limits are...You think you've hit the bottom, but have you really? It could always be worse. What if what you've feared would happen has now become a reality. You talked about, said it wasn't so. Then, it is, very much so true. It happened. You've been cheated on. It happened. That's all you can think. It. Really. Happened.

Mixed Feelings // Salt Wounds + Midnight Blues
I've noticed that it's hard to stop loving someone, even though they've wronged you, even though you hate them, even though they might have been a straight up ass to you; you still have a hard time separating yourself from them when you've been connected to this person.

What is the Value of Getting Back with an Ex?
Don't get me wrong: getting back with an ex is never an issue. You may have unfinished business and things to say between the both of you. But is it worth it? Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't. There are so many different ways and reasons as to why we want to get back with ex flames. Especially now that we're in the Mercury retrograde, in that we have other different planets that are in retrograde. I feel like it's just something that supposed to hit you with a hammer in order to get you on the right path or on the right terms. Sometimes we have to be faced with reality. Even though it's really nice to live in Wonderland but at the same time what are you really going to do with your life? There's so many different ideas about getting back with an ex. Sometimes it's the midnight booty calls. Sometimes the booty calls lead to exciting sexual play. And then there are the random phone calls of somebody missing the other individual or for the sake of not being alone. Sometimes I feel like those are the phone calls that are the worst. Because you never know if the person was genuine in the first place to want to rehash the past.. or even fix what was broken.
