breakups

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

My Letter to Him
It's been months since I let you walk away. But here I am, just now getting back up on my own two feet. Because I knew, in that first moment I met you, that there was something about you that I needed. Turns out, it wasn't something about you, but it was the things you'd teach me that I needed.

Why Ghosting a Girl Is the Worst Thing You Can Possibly Do
This is probably the worst time to be in your 20s trying to find love. If you talk to your parents, they’ll probably, not probably- definitely, tell you that when they were our age, people faced the truth, they had that confrontation, and they conversated.

Dear Diary
Dear Diary, It’s the month of March and I finally can say that I started my morning with a good and clear head as well as did my meditation. This is the first in many months of that I have been able to focus on getting my day started and not just going through the day with getting myself together. I decided to wear my hair in a ponytail due to me always wearing it down. Thought I would change it up for a bit. I felt really... really good.

Four Months on from My Marriage Ending
It's been four months since my wife unceremoniously left me. I wrote about the experience a few months back. I just reread it, and tears are flowing down my face. I have shed more tears in the past four months than ever before in my life. My wife leaving me truly is the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

Toxic Traits We're Too Scared to Recognize
It’s confession time. At one point, we all have been through a bad breakup. There finally came a time where we had subconsciously decided that it was time to let go of that one toxic boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, and/or family member. Despite such a healthy move, the moment of doing so is hard to digest at first.

Thank the Ones Who Broke You
For years I have told my friends, "I honestly have the worst luck with dating guys." I wasn't saying this because of self-doubt or just after one lousy date with some idiot. No, I truly believed it.

This Is Me
So this is me… I’m CJ and this is my story. Where it all started? I never thought that I would have a story to share with the world and that other woman that would change my life, so let’s get to it.

“We don’t need no man”
This is for women. Women that are struggling to see what they need or what they want, but most importantly, what they deserve. “We don’t need no man”. That’s right, we don’t. We don’t need a relationship. But some of us still want someone there, someone by our side. We need someone that we can depend on, but not someone we depend on, not someone that depends on us. A relationship should be a factor in our lives that amplifies our happiness, not one that completes it. Please try to remember that when your parter keeps causing you pain. When they blame it all on you- don’t believe it. Don’t let anybody manipulate you into thinking less of yourself. It’s never wrong to work on yourself and a healthy relationship usually aids you in doing so naturally. It’s not easy to let people go that you love, so please don’t ignore the red flags. Don’t ignore the intuitive feeling that lets you know something’s not right. Because you don’t need anybody but yourself. You don’t need them to complete you- it might hurt, but you will be better off in the end. And it will end, sooner or later, and we can all agree that sooner is better than later.

Mistaken Love
In the bad days, I feared myself. I feared what would happen to me if I let this continue any longer. What was I doing? Why did I believe I deserve this? What do I do next?

Second Place
Recently, met a woman who was pretty much what I would call "dream girl." Physically stunning, curious, extremely hard working and caring, plus tattoos. It was a range of superficial pieces I enjoyed mixed in with a lot of depth, insight, and intellect. I would beam with enjoyment and excitement when the opportunity arose to speak.

The Difference in Men’s and Women’s Mindsets After Breakup
“Guess what! I swear all my ex are getting hotter after breaking up with me!” I was meeting a guy friend of mine on a Sunday brunch to check on him after learning that he had just called it off with his last girlfriend recently. He came in the café and immediately order a pint of beer.

How Did I Allow It to Ever Get This Far?
I don't know where to start, or even how to start. I'm sure you knew my work would begin like this. Confused and unaware... oblivious to what point I'm trying to make, or what steps I'm trying to take. I don't know the moral of this story in all honestly, I just know in my head what I'm trying to say. Even though it may be jumbled, just try to keep up—okay?
