breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
From Queen Bee To Breaking Up
Prelude I never thought that my life would turn out like this. Five months ago to the date, I was a completely predictable version of myself. Now, I do not know even know exactly who I am anymore. But, let me backtrack to about three years ago and explain how I came to be this way. This is the story of how I survived living in the negative spacing…

How I Ended a Pre-Abusive Relationship
Let’s get real honest. It is 3 PM on a Wednesday, I work in an hour and am sucking down the most delicious iced coffee, except this one is full of alcohol. I am drinking an hour before work. I just went to a store that I have a birthday gift card for and I did not leave with a single thing, although I loved everything. I’ve cried repeatedly, in my bed, in my car and once at the mere mention of Gilmore Girls. I also feel like crawling in a hole and going into a coma. This all might say something about my heart condition in this moment. My heart is a mess. In the words of Ed Sheeran “Oh I’m a mess right now, inside out.”

Young Love
We’ve all had that boyfriend that we think walks on water. Well mine was my very first. I was just finished my first year in high school. He was going to be a senior. We had a drama class together and I always thought he was so cute. But I also thought that he would never date little girl me. Until one day he messaged me on Twitter. We started talking more and more over summer and he ended up asking me out that summer. We were inseparable and he taught me a lot of things. Like for example hunting. We did a lot of that. Or shooting. Eventually I let him take my virginity, looking back it was a terrible experience. It was in the back of his truck and it was the most painful thing. He wasn’t every gentle either, but I think that was because I had lied to him and told him it wasn’t my first time. I just wanted him to think I was cool or something.

How To End a Relationship
When is an ending considered good, and when is an ending bad? At the end of each story, it’s simply just “The End.” As impossible as it sounds, I want to make an ending as beautiful as a beginning. People say it’s painful and it’s hard, but to me, it’s not why you end a relationship; what matters most is how you end a relationship.

Hurt
It all started sophomore year of high school. I met this guy at church. We dated for 3 months and I broke up with him after he kept begging for me to take his virginity. We went our separate ways. Two years later we meet again. It's our senior year. I’m dating his best friend. Little did I know they were best friends. It was awkward. Fast forward to graduation morning. We’re getting our cap and gowns. I'm going around seeing friends and there he is again. My heart stopped. We were the only two in the room, what it felt like. He was tall and handsome. I told myself, “No, I can’t like you. I can’t.” I invited him over to my house. His car broke down and he pulled over to fix it. He needed a shower. So I said he could have a shower. It was a bad idea. We were home alone. We kissed. My heart stopped again. The world stopped moving and I fell in love. I knew he was going to be the one for me. But I couldn't. I had to hate him. Fast forward to July. Mind you this is all in the year of 2016. We got together officially. We told my parents in August. Him and I dealt with a lot. It made us stronger.

Unstable and Out of Control
Do you ever find yourself wondering how the people around you can keep their cool even when life happens? Are you someone who can't quite deal with unfortunate events or situations you have no control over? If you answered "yes" then this article is for you. I would like to share my life experience with each of you, and how I manage to overcome.

Burning Bridges
I used to think that people trickled back into our lives due to mercury in retrograde. Turns out it’s just because relationships are cyclical. People are cycles. Not to get all zen here, because I have traded that ideology in for cynicism, but I understand why the past won’t stay in the past.

The Breakup
My mom's word's ripped through my head "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." But when you're 15 and you find that one person that becomes the source of all your happiness. Being that young, being that in love, being that dumb. The odds of winning the lottery were greater than me listening to my mom's advice. But dang, how I wish I listened because mom was right. Someone took my basket and I was left eggless.
