breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Monsters in My Head
She could still hear his voice in her head. That perfect raspy tenor that made butterflies form in her stomach every time that old memory crept in. She could hear the harsh words that he had shouted at her, more out of worry than anger. It was the same words every single time she thought about him, the last words he had ever spoken to her.

Exes
Distant memories; something we've all dealt with in our lives. If you haven't, likely you're going to at some point. Exes of our past remain in our minds regardless of whether or not we're thinking about them. Just because we think about them doesn't mean we're not over them, because in reality, they're major parts of who we are as individuals. Every breakup is different, whether its mutual, nasty, or blindsiding. Each of us has an ex we still dwell on, and each of us have some sort of emotion we feel whenever we see our exes either in public or on social media. Lust, jealousy, hatred, anger, sadness. In reality, we must ask ourselves one thing; do we ever truly get over our exes? Or do we tuck them into the back pocket of our minds until our memories are struck when we come across them again in the bottom of the washing machine?

When He Breaks Your Heart... Again. Top Story - May 2018.
Well, he's done it again. He found a way to get back in your heart and to trick you into believing "he's changed." Now, you're sitting at home, sad and heartbroken for the millionth time, and asking yourself if there's something wrong with you. Stop!! The only thing that's wrong with yo, is that you let him get in your head, AGAIN. Don't beat yourself up, though, it's your time to shine. Showing him you're hurt will only show him that he still has control over your heart and your feelings. What I want you to do instead is to look in the mirror and look at how beautiful and amazing you are. Your eyes are bright, your hair is great, and you have a smile that can light up a room. Good, now that you see your outer beauty, let's talk about your inner beauty. What are a couple things that you love about yourself? Are you caring, generous, polite? Are you driven, motivated, or hard working? Once you've noticed your inner and outer beauty, you're ready to make your statement. Call up some friends, make some plans, and open up your closet. Make tonight the first night of the new you. Put on something great, spritz on your favorite perfume, and do something new to your hair. Wear makeup if you'd like, too. I know you're probably thinking, "What's this going to help with?" It helps by getting your mind off him, by giving you a well needed time out with your friends, and it helps by giving you an opportunity to learn more about yourself without the distraction of your idiot ex-boyfriend. If he calls while you're out, don't pick up the phone!! No texts, no calls, no excuses. You don't need him. Avoid his lies and his tricks to get back with you. He knows if he says or does a certain thing, you'll go right back to him. So don't give him the satisfaction. Make him see you don't need him or his lies. You deserve to laugh and be happy, you deserve love, and you deserve to shine brighter than you ever have.

Goodbye Old Lover, Goodbye Old Friend
You destroyed me. You made me feel like everything and nothing all at the same time and I don’t know how you did it. Did you have a voodoo doll of me hidden away somewhere, stuffed in your sock drawer? It’s like my longing for you weren't my true feelings but I felt them anyway.

Thank You Tryston
Four days ago my life began to fall in a direction no one could prepare me for. The sad part of that statement is, if my heart was honest with myself, gut-wrenchingly honest, I knew it was bound to happen. Have you ever fallen in love with the idea of love? We create this image of what happy looks like, and begin to feel it. From taking the perfect Instagram photos, writing the clever captions, and well, making our own romance novel through photos. Except photos can be altered, photoshopped, cropped, and made out as something far from the original. That's exactly what happened with my real life. I took what looked like perfection, and attempted to create it through someone who was an artist himself. We both had all the talent, creativity, and motive to display what true love looked like, except art is just art. It doesn't have the power to come to life no matter how much technology we put into it.

Bittersweet
You used to wake up every morning with a smile on your face, and I'd know the minute I opened my eyes that it was because of me. You used to wake up with me before the sun and gaze intently at my reflection in the mirror while I brushed my teeth, as if I was the water that your body needed after days of clawing your way through the Sahara. You used to see me. You used to kiss my fingertips while simultaneously counting your blessings. You used to kiss my breath away, then turn pale in the face, replacing it with your own. You used to sing the gospel to me. With me. You used to hug me so hard that the broken pieces in me were one again. You used to stroke my hair gently, reaffirming me of my own worth while my head rested heavily in your lap and my tears puddled at your feet. You used to hum "I love you," and other sweet nothing's into my ear until I was lullabied to sleep. You used to be my rest. You used to dance around with me in the kitchen to Stevie Wonder, and I watched as your smile doubled in size when I sang off key. You used to smile at me. You used to bear your soul to me. So much so that I felt the need to cover your nakedness up with the velvet of my voice, reassuring you that no amount of past woes or filth you felt clung to you would ever make me love you any less.

The Breakup Letter
You are the worst kind of human being that exists today. A complete waste of space and energy and the incarnation of pure evil and all that is bad. You are a succubus and a black hole where all hopes, dreams, and emotion go to die and be forgotten. You destroy all that is good and pure with the predisposition to somehow better only yourself or your situation no matter the cost. You are all that is hateful, harmful, disgusting, malicious, repulsive, spiteful, wicked, greedy, selfish, rotten, and poisonous. You don't care who you hurt or what relationships you destroy. You deny any and all accountability for your actions and decisions or the repercussions thereof, enjoying the pain, suffering, and misfortune they've caused others in the process.
