breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Past Relationships
They say past relationships won't affect your new ones but that's a lie because they will. In a new relationship you start over and question every little thing from "why haven't they texted me" to "do they really love me?" because being used and hurt causes these feelings.

The One Who Got Away...
It's 2017, approximately seven years ago I connected with my twin flame. It still feels like yesterday, there is no one better than her and I want her all to myself. I didn't know too much about anything back then. I don't think most of the world knew what we know now. I didn't use the internet back then aside from playing Socom Navy Seals on my PS3.

When Relationships Become Too Complicated
My parents divorced when I was not even old enough for school. My father was very abusive and my mother finally found the way out. When I was a teenager my dad's actions hadn't changed much. One Christmas Eve when I was 13, my dad and I had gotten into it and he hit me, right across the face leaving me with a black eye for a week. I didn't see my dad again for 10 years.

My Long Hard Road Out Of Hell
What we had can only be described as a whirlwind romance. He came into my life right when I needed a man the most and I fell madly in love with him. He seemed to be everything I was looking for in a man. He was in the US Marine Corps, which I absolutely loved because hey what's better than a man in uniform right? He was funny, he was sweet, he was smart, he was protective, he was adorable as all get out, he loved the same music and movies that I loved. He had read a lot of the same books, and he was totally into comic books and anime, and he was super affectionate. He was like a dream come true.

How I Chose Spirituality
In 2014 I met my twin flame. I can remember the first time I ever saw him like it was yesterday, & the event happened three years ago. I was four months out of a relationship with a karmic partner. This karmic partner introduced me to the world of cheating & tainted my trust in men. Prior to this, I had never been cheated on & I began questioning what about me would make him do that. My karmic partner seemed to adore me but it was an endless cycle of the same things for months. He would cheat, I would find out, I would try to break up with him, he would cry & tell me loved me. Needless to say, the guilt & longing for approval would send me back his way. However, I had never been the type to stick around energy that wasn't matched to mine, so eventually, we broke up for good.

Emotional Abuse is Hard to Catch
When we first met, he was so nice. I told him all of the heartache I had been through and he promised me he was different. He knew I had been cheated on in every single relationship I have ever been in. He knew the scars on my heart were still healing and he promised to help the progress. He promised me he would never, ever hurt me or cheat on me. Months passed and I fell head over heels. He was something out of a book. We never fought, we were in love. He wanted to be with me forever, he said.

A Letter To An Aspiring Heartbreaker
To the person I thought you could never be, I was broken and silent, loving but loveless. I was hanging on by a thread and piece by piece it was dwindling away. I was empty, my heart shattered and my spirit in shambles. I was on the edge of the ledge convinced that I would always be alone. I was half gone, scraping the earth for a piece of myself, scraping the world trying to find peace in myself. Happiness was a foreign concept to me, a distant feeling. I was on my last leg with nothing left to hold me up and falling with no one to catch me. I was everything and nothing at all, all at the same time. I had given up hope that anything could get better, that I would ever deserve better. I was certain that lonely hell was all I’d ever have to live in and there was nothing to hold on to.

How Do I Pick Up the Pieces?
Memories are haunting. I wish I had a way to shut them off. Like a remote for the mind, if you will. Everything is reminding me of him and it's because we did everything together. I'm mourning and I can't stop. He promised me that I wouldn't be alone. That he would never hurt me. But here I am, alone and hurt. Hurt by the person who was never supposed to hurt me. The person who I loved with every single ounce of who I am. The person that held my heart. And when he left, he didn't let go of my heart. He still had it in his grip as I forced myself out of the door. I felt every tendon snap with every step I took. Then it was emptiness. Then there were tears. A constant flow that never stopped. From 8am to 4am the next day. Constant. And food is a foreign concept to me now. Every time I try to eat something, I take a few bites and feel sick. So my body is rejecting food. It's rejecting anything I put into it. Sleeping is also a foreign concept. I've slept a total of 6 hours in 3 days. If that. Every time I try and sleep, my chest feels heavy and I can't help but think about how he should be next to me, holding me, like he did every single night for 5 months. How do you go from sleeping beside someone every single night for 5 months, to sleeping alone on a couch? And let's not forget Reyna. God, do I miss that dog. And I miss him. I wish I didn't miss him. I wish I could erase him from my memory, if only for a day.

Reflections on a Toxic Relationship
Normally it's always the same feeling after putting so much work into something that ends badly. In this case we are talking about a relationship. Two individuals who consciously make the decision to fall in together. It is in this race for a higher state of feeling that we might sometimes miss the signs given off by our potential partners.

Her Name Is My Name Too
I've been in love before, so much so that there are times I believe I still am...in love with my ex-boyfriend that is. We'd known each other since junior high, same class 7th and 8th grade, and boy did I have a crush on him (he was gorgeous in every way possible). He asked me to our eighth grade prom (I'm from NYC, we had 6th and 8th grade proms) and thanks to our meddlesome homeroom teacher, Ms. Cee (C is for cockblock, who was quite colorist and self-loathing — that's a whole 'nother story), he ended up taking another, fairer skinned girl.
