breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Broken Into Pieces
Why does it take us losing important people and significant things in order for us to appreciate them? Michelle had loved the way Chase loved her more than anything. The way he looked at her, sexed her, and told her, "I love you," right before kissing her lips. She was in love with the idea of a future with him... that wasn't enough to stop her from breaking his heart over and over again. She was still in love with "Mr. Florida" while Chase attempted to sweep her off her feet.

Traveling Alone with a Broken Heart
Sure, it sounds dramatic. Maybe it is. For six months now, my partner and I had this amazing 10-week road trip across the United States planned out. We wanted to see as many National Parks as we could, and we both wanted our fur babies to see the same. We had the same ideas about traveling and getting out of our comfort zone, and figuring things out as they came along. It all came to a sudden halt just five days before we were supposed to take off. I’m trying to learn quickly to not play the blame game, but what was supposed to be an incredible summer with my boyfriend ended up with me scrambling to figure out everything I’d need to know for a solo adventure for an entire summer across the US.

Not Ready
When my parents first signed me up for driving school in the last week of summer, I wasn't very enthused. Being a very shy guy who didn’t like talking to new people, I knew this was going to be a challenge. Even though I’ve been an athlete all my life, playing high level basketball and volleyball, I still struggle with talking to people.

The Things You'll Never Hear Me Say
The tears are finally falling... I didn't think I had it in me. I felt like I had felt all the hurt and let it go. But no, because the last time we talked you told me to not blame myself, to be strong, and keep pushing. How could I not blame myself?! I ignored my gut feelings because I saw something in you, if you were to ask me to explain I wouldn't be able to. As friends, we could have had a really solid bond. But you couldn't help yourself, could you? You just had to have more, and at what price? For you? Nothing. Me? Absolutely everything.

Eighteen Years of Wasted Time
Eighteen years of wasted time… I first met him. He was charming, fun, attractive. I was into him; he was into me. I found someone to hang out with, I was twenty-two, he was twenty-one. I was happy having fun with him. I thought he was happy having fun with me.

Not All Bruises Are Visible on the Skin
My sister is floating round high as a kite. Happy pills do not take away the problem, and if you were to take away the pills we'd still be in the same boat. It concerns me that people are perceiving her induced positivity as a cure, end of problem, that's all, folks. She was given her prescription last week, on the back of her boyfriend breaking up with her. But it's more than that, we've learned. It wasn't until after the break up that she began to open up about what really went on. She'd sit and tell me about the sexual things he's make her do and then wonder why I sat there horrified.
