When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.

7 Radical and Fun Ways to Get over a Breakup
It’s over. Time feels wasted. Your heart feels diminished, and you are absolutely devastated. We’ve all been through it before, and many of us will go through it many times. When you’re a broken mess, it’s hard to do anything besides eating tubs of ice cream and trying to watch your favorite shows instead of going to work, and refusing to see people. But you can’t let that stop you. I’ve compiled a list of ways to get over a breakup that are healthy and productive. Instead of eating ice cream and moping around, these will give you outcomes you deserve.

To the Boy Whose Heart I Broke
To the boy whose heart I broke, I'm sorry. You were a vivid soul, a bright beacon of blazing fire in my mind overgrown with mold. You saved my life, and I was almost responsible for ending yours.

All These Words yet I'm Still Unable to Close Your Chapter
"It hits so hard, holding onto my chest. Maybe you left your mark, reminding me to forget.” -Kygo All these words. Never enough to understand. Never enough words to justify. Never enough to heal. Never enough to end.

Who You Were Breaking
It’s been two months. Two months since my first but last devotion. Two months without a hand to provide self-luxury. Two months missing the warmth of a welcoming chest belonging to my lover and the fervor of his character. Two months without a heartbeat. In these two months I have become an addict to an accustomed feeling that claws its way out of my chest. Perhaps, that was too broad of a statement.

Dear Ex's
I am not here to disrupt your life or disturb you in any way. I do not want to set your healing time back by having a presence in your life that is not wanted. Our breakup wasn't easy, in fact, it was terrible and I never thought I would recover, but time is a magical healer and with time came reflection.

My Last
How could I ever really tell you the truth? How can I ever love you endlessly when my heart continues to stop me from loving you. You have been my heartbeat through all of this and I can only wish I could do the same for you. The love you have for me is too powerful for me to take in. Too difficult for me to care for. I love you. I've always known that. and I care so much about you, and I will always be here when you need me. And you will always do the same for me. You have know no idea how much I appreciate you but just because I appreciate you doesn't mean we should be together. I never meant for all of this to happen. I tried. I begged the lord and everyone to help me love you again. But I can't force my love. The reason I let you go all the time is so that your feelings grow no more for me.. whilst I sit here and pout about how I can't help my feelings. It's not fair to you. You deserve someone who loves you the way you want to be loved and you may be blind, stubborn, hardheaded, and so much more to everything I say but you know I'm right about this. You didn't believe you could ever love again after your ex, but here I am showing you wrong. You fell in love with me and continue with this belief of yours that you'll never love again. As a woman, I know you will love again and when you do I will be there, in your mind of course. And you'll remember the very moment I told you that you will find love again. And you'll realize how very much correct I was. And then you will understand why it could never work between us.

Not This Road
When we all were kids we swore to the D.A.R.E program that we would never drink or smoke. When we got to middle and high school we didn't give it much thought anymore. Now after high school and in college, we damn sure don't care and probably do it every day of the week. Some of the people we grew up with are doing it all and selling it and you think that they're the same or you probably notice something is different about them but you still don't really care. Some of the dudes that you are into you know sell and indulge and some you don't know. You find out later..

Acceptance
He completely destroyed me with six simple words. “I think we should break up.” I remember living my first day without you. You left me and took my appetite along with every bit of motivation I had towards my future with you. You learned all of my secrets, flaws, scars, and you left. With no hesitation, you were gone; you decided you didn't want to fight for me anymore, you gave up so easily. I didn’t think I would be able to continue with this never-ending ache I felt in my heart every time I exhaled. My stomach would churn every time I thought of you. My thoughts ran so wild, there was no way I could sleep at night. My eyes could tell you the saddest stories without me having to speak a word. I didn’t feel as if I was living life anymore, I was just surviving day by day. I was broken, damaged and fading.

Dear Love (The Pain Is Real)
I can see it in your eyes. That look in your despondent orbs and just a handful of words exchanged between us are enough to know:

Do Not Fall for Love's Promises
It's 6 A.M. here, and normally I'd wake up early to play Call of Duty or something like the nerd that I am, but instead a pain exists in my chest, and hopefully spilling my words on here will remove it. "Nerd" is such a funny word now. It's what she used to call me. "You're such a nerd, Gerard." is what she would say. Then I'd tell her "Well, at least I'm your nerd!" We'd laugh and tell each other we love each other very much.

Sat drinking wine in Hyde Park, watching you sticking a bit of grass between your two front teeth and I laughed, Frank Ocean on repeat.

Broken: Overcoming a Break-up
The Beginning of the End I'm broken. I've been trying to fix myself. But I can not do it alone. He didn't understand that I was broken... He must have thought I was "perfect." He must have thought we weren't going to have problems. I don't know what he was thinking because he stopped telling me what he was thinking. He stopped being the person he was in the beginning. I thought he was going to be more understanding because he's broken, just like me — but he didn't. The problem is he didn't see things the way I see it. We never really saw things eye-to-eye and our brokenness couldn't vibe. Because he says we're on two different levels, the way he put it — I was at the top and he was at the bottom. I guess I was out of his league to say the least. He would tell me, "I'm gonna make it with or without you," as if I didn't wanna see him make it. How could you say that to a person who supported you from the start? Nothing would have made me happier than to see him winning.
