breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Reasons I Should Have Walked Away
When you're in a toxic relationship, you don't always see how toxic it is, especially when it comes to a narcissist. This is a list of things I should've realized long before I actually broke up with my narcissistic ex-boyfriend. Mind you, I had my rose-coloured glasses on for two years prior to realizing these things.

Coping With Heartbreak
I should have seen it coming right from the second she said yes, but my emotions blinded me. One thing you must learn when it comes to love and relationships is never to beg someone to love you or date you. It is not something you beg for, it is something that is given to you, even when you don’t deserve it.

To the Broken-Hearted People
What broken-hearted people need to hear, from someone who has experienced it all. If you’ve just broken up with someone and it still hurts... it’s okay. You did what was right for you. You trusted your gut, and you had to put yourself first. Yes, hurting them is going to hurt, but the only way you can heal is to stop feeling guilty. Push the guilt aside, and focus on you. It’s going to be hard, there are going to be days where you regret your decision, but you have to keep moving. Everything heals over time, and over time you won’t feel guilty anymore. It’s going to be okay.

The Tsunami-ed Life (Part 2)
Hardest part of a tsunami-ed life isn't the wave when it hits you, though that part is pretty rough. Like I imagine with the natural phenomenon, the hardest part is the aftermath, the clean-up and the rebuilding. You spend days, maybe even weeks in a daze of "What just happened?" Perhaps you go through the motions of life; going to work, eating, sleeping, planning a funeral, looking for a new job, all the things that keep life normal.

The True Strength Found in the Vulnerability of a Break-Up
On the Monday he had texted me crying, I dropped everything and ran to him. A month prior he had told me he needed space because he didn’t know what he wanted. The whole drive there my body was shaking from the anxiety that filled it. I didn’t listen then, but that was my intuition telling me not to go, but instead I pushed on… Six days later, I sat at home once again heart broken.

Indescribable
When someone says the word “pain,” you always think physical pain right? A paper cut on your finger that stings like crazy when you find it with hand sanitizer or lime juice. Or maybe when your pinky toe finds the coffee table in the wee hours of the night… Or the pain from just sleeping wrong, you wake up grumpy and grouchy, neck hurts. But you can describe it right? You feel it, eventually you walk it off, or pop a painkiller and carry on. Physical pain is easier to deal with than what many think, yeah there’s extreme pain, no one wants to have to go through... like EVER. There’s at least usually a reason behind it, and maybe a solution in most cases.
