breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Classic Story of a Heart Broken Woman
When I was younger, I was that tall, ginger fat girl that got bullied all the time but had popular friends. Every day, whether it be at school or in my social life, I saw relationships and thought to myself, 'I don't even want that, I'd rather be single my whole life.'

This Is Because of You
First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for pushing me over the edge. Thank you for letting us have a great first few months. Thank you for pushing me to be your “perfect girl.” Thank you for choosing other things over me and making me feel bad when I chose my dream over you. Most importantly, thank you for not treating me how I deserve to be treated.

An Open Diary
May 11, 2017 South Carolina 2:31 PM It’s fine… You’re fine… 3:09 AM Why. Why do you do this to me? Why did you even let me love in the first place? My mother left me, my father tries to make up for the lack of love in my life, but immediately leave me for his job. “Best friends” ultimately leave you and stab you when you been nothing but loyal. Kyle left. Johnathan. Lauren. Sierra. Justice. Now… you. I called it. And now I am kicking myself in the ass because I knew, and I never listen to my gut instincts. I keep hoping it’s one of those gut feeling that are completely wrong… I just need to stop caring. Stop loving. Stop being there for people, because all it ever gets you is left behind. There is no space in this world for kindness or compassion.

My Worst Date
Everyone has had their share of good and bad dates. Not all dates require money being spent, and every date is special. To me, a date is any place that is special to both you and your crush. For example, prom is a date. I haven't had many, but I have had my share of heartbreaks and disappointments. Anybody can be let down by a random stranger, but to have someone that you’ve known for years break your heart is a jaw dropper. The guy that tore me to shreds, was Jared. We had history together, so thinking he’ll break my heart came as a shock to me.

Sunshine After the Storm
The sun always rises; simply take heart. Sunshine After the Storm Loving someone, especially when it's so easy to do, can be the warmest feeling in the world—a feeling that overwhelms your heart and your soul until you feel like no one and no thing can bring you back down to the earth. Loving someone tests your ability to put someone else's heart above your own. Loving someone challenges you to pursue gentleness, humility, and the utmost level of patience. Loving someone tears down every wall you've built up around your heart, and allows you to freely express your every dream...usually sewing the one you love into every stitch of the dreams you've sewn together with your passion, your integrity, and your character. Loving someone changes you. Loving someone teaches you a lesson in life; sometimes many lessons are learned from loving someone so greatly. As you have read the last few sentences, you might've felt the blood flush trough your veins as a familiar (or maybe a not-so-familiar) name came to your mind. You probably understand what it's like to feel the pain of having your 'dream tapestry' that you stitched, to include and even embody the person you love, destroyed and ripped apart at every seam. You probably know what it's like to be left alone to grieve and mourn the departure of someone you love. You probably know what it's like to be left with a million unanswered questions and a constant screening of the film created by your innermost thoughts titled "why?" You most likely understand what it feels like to lay awake in the early hours of the morning as your pillow is soaked with tears of sheer abandonment and confusion, while your stomach aches from the rapid breaths that flex your abdomen as you attempt to leave your roommates undisturbed while you silently weep. You know exactly how badly it hurts to learn how to sleep alone all over again. You know how pathetic you feel after you stand in the shower, tears running down your face, trying to scrub of every inch of your body as you scream to an audience of yourself and God, "get him off of me"—knowing full-well he has touched and kissed every single inch of you. Finally, after you have endured the internal torture of having your heart broken by the one person you so passionately love more than anyone else in existence, you understand that they left...and they obliterated everything in their wake while doing so—including you.

I Remember...
Dear green eyes, I remember us like it was yesterday. I remember waking up, turning over in our bed, seeing your face, slack with utter comfort. You looked so funny and I couldn’t help but smile stupidly as I watched you. I remember reaching over to brush your hair back off your forehead, thinking about how you needed a haircut. You mumbled sleepily and wrapped your arms around me in response.

Stop Caring About Him
From my own experience, I know that it is extremely hard to break away from the guy you think you're in love with, even when he treats you like you're nothing. Your heart gets so caught up in the thought of you two being together forever, and you keep trying to make things work, even if it seems like he doesn't care. My advice is this: it doesn't matter how in love you think you are with him; if he does not respect you and treat you like the queen that you are, then let go of him. You have to force yourself to break the emotional ties that connect you to this guy who doesn't that doesn't actually care about you or your happiness. It's a waste of your time and energy when you invest your heart and soul into someone because you care so deeply about them, and in return they do not invest anything in you. Basically you are taking all your love and devotion and throwing it away; it's one thing when someone gives you what you give to them, but this guy is not worth your staying up all night thinking about him. It won't make him change his mind, it really doesn't matter what you say or what you do. If he doesn't seem to care about you now, he most definitely won't care about you in the long run. He most likely will not wake up one day and regret everything he's done to you, even if you wish he would. You need to leave your heart open for someone who is worthy of it, someone who is capable of handling it. You can't find someone who treats you like a princess when you're still stuck on a dirt bag that doesn't care about you. All of your love and energy could be put into someone that will reciprocate it back to you, but you will never get that chance if you keep letting this guy walk all over you. You're only hurting yourself, no good is going to come out of this when you keep giving someone so much of you and they can't even acknowledge your existence. I know it's hard to break away from him, but you need to do it if you ever want to be happy with someone else. One day you look back on all of this and wonder why you cared so much about him. However, I totally understand why you care about him so much at the moment, but trust me once you set a goal to get over him, it will put you on the road to recovery. You'll wonder why you were so into him in the first place. Just picture yourself in a few years with the love of your life, someone that adores every little thing about you and wouldn't change you for the world. Trust me, the longer you hold on to him the worse it gets. You've tried so hard to get him to care, and that's why it's hard to let go, and I get that. The sooner you start, the faster you will move on with your life. He's not even that great honestly; what could possibly be so amazing about some dude who doesn't care about you? There are tons of guys out there who will value you and treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Just remember, if you're not on his mind then he shouldn't be on yours. I know its easier said than done but it's worth it. It's not fair that you treat him like a priority and he only sees you as an option. Come one now, you deserve better than that. Do not give this guy any more of your attention; he does not deserve it, you gave him a chance and he didn't take it. It's time to move on and be happy.

Wasting Mascara on Another Breakup
I am bitter toward those who can easily withstand storms like a tree firmly rooted in the earth. My fingers spread into the earth, trying to grab ahold of anything to keep a tight hold on, and each time it takes more effort to cling on until I simply don’t want to exert myself any longer.

Innocent
My ex-boyfriend broke into my house and slept with my best friend when I was on vacation with my mother and brother. Now that I've gotten your attention, I'll add in that we were just at the tender age of fourteen; I was mere months older than both of them, I had been "dating" (loose definition here, as the farthest we'd ever gone was hand-holding) this boy for about four months, and this friend had lived with me when her aunt kicked her out of her own home just before her birthday, and had only just returned at the start of the new school year, a process that was a bit less than a year. I didn't know betrayal had roots so deep until I got that fateful phone call from my father alerting me to what he had come home to. I had left for a long weekend with my mother and my brother, leaving my father at our family home. This was the one detail I had neglected to mention to them when excitedly detailing my plans, as it was my belief up until the last second that he would be coming with us, but alas, work got in the way. I was four hundred miles away when my phone rang, my father's number flashing on my screen, and I picked up immediately. He told me what he had walked into, and asked if I had known anything about it, which I did not. To my knowledge she, and only she, was going to hide out in my open backyard until her aunt came to pick her up from our middle school, as my home is within walking distance and hers was a fair distance away, which had happened countless times before, and was okay by my parents. I was rather heated as I got off the phone when a text came through.

Toxicity and Sublimity
Now that we have been to the past, we realize the future is a much better place. We were different. We never held hands because we didn’t prefer the moist uncomfortable connection. We would die for one another but there was no remorse in inflicting pain on each other. You were my greatest revelation and my biggest downfall.
