breakups

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

Self Love
Relationships are life journeys. Some journeys are life long, some short lived, and some in between. They are blessings or lessons. Sometimes they are fulfilling. Sometimes they are unhealthy. And sometimes they leave you tangled in a roller coaster of confusion. I'm sure most people have experienced one or the other or all of the above. I know I have.

Change IS Good
I started this new thing for myself for the month of October and I am really excited to try it out. I call it “Focus Points.” I put all my main points for the month on one page, whether it be a quote or something I want to focus on. It also includes a book to read and a personal development book for the month because I don’t want to push myself so far when I just started. I want to ease myself into it, so I don’t set myself up for failure. I have also included two worksheets to help me figure out who I am. I think I lost myself somewhere along the way in life and I want to bring myself back.

Will I Ever Love Again?
Everybody has a story tell and its only a matter of time before the truth comes out. My story is pretty truthful and until I started putting it on paper, I was afraid to tell my story. It started early in life, I was bullied all through school until I met my best friend in tenth grade. I felt like a popular kid when I met her. We became inseparable really quickly and we have been friends ever since, even became moms together, just like we always wanted to. When I was a junior in high school, I met my boyfriend bubba and we dated for five years. Things got pretty rough for us after two years. His family, as much as I loved them, were very dysfunctional. Things got worse when we moved in together and even worse when we moved out the apartment and broke up. I started a new job at a small restaurant and that’s where I met him. The man that changed my life forever.

Words I Wish You Would've Heard
Sometimes I think about the fact that it's been 10 months. 10 months since I was supposed to see you, and experience something for the first time with you. 10 months since I was planning to drop down on one knee and ask you one of the biggest questions a person could ask. 10 months since I was trying to pay for a $1700.00 vacation that was reworked to include you, and a custom $1200.00 engagement ring. 10 months since you said you wanted to do something else that would have brought the vacation to $2500.00. 10 months since I said I couldn't afford the extra $800 thing you wanted to do.

Healing
I think we have all experienced heartbreaking relationship at some point or another. Here are some things I felt after one that was particularly difficult for me. These thoughts are not exactly in any specific order, just here written out the same way they came to my mind at different points of healing... Maybe they can help someone to find their own path to healing.

i hope you're mad i wrote this
This is a follow up to to this post. I am struggling a bit mentally right now, and I apologize if this does not make a whole lot of sense. I find sometimes the best thing to do when we are upset about something is write about it.

Problems
I sit on the swing in an old park that was all but forgotten by most kids. My eyes were glued to the stars that are shining beautifully on a moonless night. While their beauty wasn’t lost on me, I hardly registered it. My heart was pounding against my rib cage and butterflies danced in my stomach, a goofy smile resting on my face as I think of my reasons for being here. Well, reason, as in one, him. He is my reason, Zack. We’ve been friends for years but just started getting to know each other and talk with each other recently, and I couldn’t be happier.

The Break Up
I have always hated playing pretend as a child and as an adult I despised the idea even more. So why am I sitting here trying to pretend like my world is not crashing down right before my eyes. "Sandra," he pleaded leaving a stench of desperation in the air. My heart beg my mind to explain why it's not responding to his despair. "Sandra, you have nothing to say?" Terrance kneel down on his knees in front of me sitting on this sofa that feels like I am being swallowed up by quick sand. How quickly our colorful heated argument ends in a dark and lonely place we both dread to face. The cold dark empty feeling is only intensified by the silence felt in the room which magnify the reality that this could be the of the end of us. Confused, I then found myself with an internal battle between my heart and mind. My mind wants to pretend that in this very moment my world is not falling apart. My heart hit me with a brick to the head, bringing me back to reality as the foundation we built dismantle brick by brick. My mind reason that if I look long and hard for the light in this dark and hollow place we have manage to find ourselves in, I am destined to find a speck of light. My heart gently pull me back reminding me that time was not the enemy here. I found some humor in that it wasn't long ago that my heart was fighting for us. Oh, how the roles has reversed.

The Words I May Never Say
July 23, 2020 Dear-Lover I’m not really sure when you will be getting this letter, considering I don’t know when I will send you your birthday gifts, but I hope no matter how late this is, you will still love it. I have tried to pick out items I know you will love (all of the NBC items) I have also tried to pick out meaningful gifts for you as well. Mostly, to show that I still care and love you. I mean I always will, you were my first love. Even though we didn’t turn out as we both may have hoped, I’m still happy with how things are. You are still in my life. You’re in my life in a much different way than most people would have thought. I never thought we would be as close as we are now even though we are not together.

Love Lost
I've always wanted to at least try and control every aspect of my life down to the "t". Whether it be college grades, a lover, even to what I might have for dinner. But sadly, at the age of twenty-two, I understood how this thing called reality works. You see, there is a saying; that time waits for no man. I mean, we all should believe this to be true because we don't have magical powers to make time stop when we won't but, I digress. Moving forward, allow me to let you into my very active mind.
