Ten Things Every Girl Should Do After a Breakup
Breakups suck. However, bad relationships are even worse and while you think you may not be able to survive the split, you can and you will.

Mistakes of a Man
The mistakes of one man can be a catastrophic event. Most of humanity knows what it is like to love and lose. But most also move on quickly, either find themselves a new love or just go out and play around like a bachelor or bachelorette. Then some of them dwell on what they used to have no matter whose fault it was that everything had to end like it did. I am not just one who dwells on it, I am one who is fighting to get something I had that was so very precious to me back. This isn't going to be a review or a report, more like a journal. Sometimes it is better to just write down your feelings whether someone reads it or not, and with this I hope someone does so they don't make the same mistakes I have.

Meat Boy and High School Girl: My First Everything
At the age of 16/17, I got my very first job working at a department store as a cashier. I was a quiet, happy-go-lucky girl with a loud voice who hadn’t experienced much of the world. I never spoke to those who I didn’t know, out of insecurity and self-consciousness. I didn’t have a lot of friends, but I had a few. So when I met him, it was the shock of a lifetime, which left waves in the future.

Through the Looking Glass
We matched on Tinder today and you messaged me an hour after matching. We've been speaking for three weeks everyday and you finally asked me to meet you.

DIY Breakup
I think for the most part we can all agree that break ups suck, whether you're the one that does the breaking or on the receiving end of the "good-bye". If it was a long relationship it leads to a complete transformation in our life. We lose mutual friends, communication becomes strangled if some friends decide to stick it out with both parties, and we lose the constant companion that we did have. (If we're being honest, sometimes the loss of the constant companion is a good thing. You'll come to realize it was the memories that you missed and not indeed the person since there's a reason you broke up. One of you changed, maybe both).

When Heartbreak Doesn’t Disappear
My first love was somewhat stereotypical; we were high school sweethearts, inseparable, conjoined at the hip. I was head over heels infatuated with this boy who for the sake of privacy we’ll call Sam.

I Miss My Ex
Heartbreak Hurts Pools of blood are forming on my bed and I can’t make it stop. He’s leaning over me with a wide grin on his face, his hands stained red, a scalpel in one hand and a hammer in the other. He’s already pulverized the bones in my legs so I can’t run, and now he’s moving on to what he really came for. I let out a piercing scream as he slices open my chest, but every noise I make is being drowned out by the music he is blasting from my Amazon Echo. I yell your name, but I know you won’t come. You won’t come because I messed it all up, like I usually do. And you finally gave up on me. I successfully pushed you away, and now I’m dying. He slams the hammer against my ribs and shatters them, sending me into unconsciousness.

Broken Chapter 6
I’ve actually been dreading writing this one, I couldn’t tell you why exactly. It’s been just over a month so I need to tell this story before it disappears from my mind completely. It is ever so slightly, still raw. Sometimes I think I fail at putting how I really feel into words. Maybe it comes across more passionately than I actually feel, maybe it sounds like I feel more than I do. The truth is I’m usually well over someone I dated for a brief time. I think this one really got under my skin.

Broken Chapter 7
What is love? Have I ever even been in love? What is the meaning of love? These are the questions I ask myself since being truly single the past few weeks. I question everything. The beauty of my anxiety, it makes you think about every aspect of your life and what you’ve done wrong. At almost 1 AM I wish my mind would quiet, these are the times I wish my post breakup insomnia would disappear. The only thing to help is writing and drinking, or so I say to excuse my recent alcoholism.

Broken Chapter 2
So scene opens. Picture an overweight, blubbering mess—hasn’t been washed or left the apartment in days. Not much in the way of food is evident, and a mountain of empty wine bottles from the local Tesco express. Bonus of staying in an apartment that’s above a supermarket when you’re going through the worse breakup imaginable.

The Black Widow and The Angler Fish
I focus on the cracked paving stones as I walk in the mid-March darkness. The cold air lapping at my post shower face. I had decided today that I would turn my life around. Deleted dating apps, check. Focused on work, check. Positivity overboard, check. Even told my best friend about my new plan and my positivity. Obviously with her knowing me so well she came out with the comment ‘We’ll see how long that lasts before you’re back to it’ Thanks Joy. But to be fair she has dealt with me for the past three months and heard it a lot in that time. She’d put up with so much, I could see a wave of relief come over her face, because we would be moving in together in the next few months.
