breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Him
The first time I saw him in person, I walked by him on purpose. What was I doing here? I’d made plans to meet up with him knowing I only saw him as a friend, but suspecting he wanted more. I was married. He was in a long term relationship with the mother of his two kids. We could be nothing more than friends. So I walked by when I realized he either hadn’t seen me, or didn’t recognize me. We’ll call him Jay.

Soulmate Gone Wrong
Here's a story about a guy I thought was my soulmate. It all starts off when I was about 14 or 15-years-old. My cousin came over for the weekend and there was a mall close to my house, so we decided to go there one day. I've been to that mall many times before and always recognized this one really cute guy. That day was different, though. He wasn't just a guy I dreamed of liking me. He was the guy who liked me.

Being in Love with Someone Who Isn’t in Love with You
What is love technically? It is versatile and could be defined in many ways and can take on many forms. It is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person/attraction that includes sexual desire.” They were not kidding when they meant constant affection for a person. Constant meaning I cannot get this man out of my head...even though we are no longer together anymore. I wish someone made a dictionary or guide line book to help me fall out of love with someone because it would sure come in handy right now. Being in love with someone who is not in love with you/no longer in love with you is probably one of the most soul crushing events in life. More soul crushing than getting pants in front of the whole middle school type of event. Bad, I know...So the question is when do I stop trying for someone who has stopped trying for me? When will the time come that I won’t bother to message your phone, stalk your social media pages, and call you so we can see each other? When is the time right for me to let go of the memories we once created and are even creating now? Like the way you held me when I was feeling the most broken two years ago and you made me feel as if I wasn’t broken anymore. Like the way we made love last night and created even more memories that will flash throughout my mind in the most inconvenient of times. When it is time for me to come first? The time where I am the one saying goodbye to you and that I can no longer continue to torture myself with your love. I long for the day that I do not have to beg to be loved by someone, to beg for someone’s time and affection. That day will come soon, when I build up the courage to say “enough is enough” because I know my worth and it’s worth more than this. I do not deserve to be half loved, when he knows damn well I always put one hundred and ten percent into loving him. The day will come where I am the one moving on and he will be begging for my love...and I won’t give it to him because I’ve always deserved more than that.

You Are Power
So we go through life with many happy times, many sad times. Some so painful we can't even understand the whys and the whos, the whats and the wheres. But we carry it regardless. We carry it in our minds and hearts. On our shoulders and in our backs. The emotional pain of life appears in the physical and we often see it as our body breaking, but rarely that our soul is trying to tell us something. Our higher self pushes these emotions through our body, so we can recognise and heal our emotional wounds.

What I Wish I Knew Before: Getting Married
We met when I was 18. It seemed that the stars aligned and the universe brought us together. I was living with him within a week of meeting him. I wasn't looking for anyone when I met him. Admittedly, I was in a really bad place and he was my savior. We both knew it. We had been dating for five months when I got pregnant. At first, we had the reaction of most young couples, confusion, and panic. We quickly became fond of the idea of being parents. From there to now a lot of things happened but I will summarize,

The Essential Heartbreak
Oh, heartbreak. I know what it is; you know what it is; everyone knows what heartbreak is. While there are many different variations of heartbreak, and different reasons you may experience heartbreak, it's not an easy thing to go through and handle.

To the Guy who Broke Me...
I never actually saw myself writing one of these but here I am at 4 AM doing it. I was about to sleep but then memories came flooding in and all the feelings came back with it; the love, the hate, the lust, the pain, but most, the disappointment. I kept asking myself, where did I go wrong? I’ve blamed myself over and over and over again for the fact that you didn’t want to be with me anymore. You see, I made myself believe that I was the one at fault. That maybe you got tired of how clingy I was, or of how much I cared and how much I’ve invested my time in you. That maybe I was too much, like I called and texted too much, I wanted to spend time together too much, I wanted to hear from you too much kind of thing. We had so many plans together. We even talked about marriage and our careers. So it makes you wonder how somebody can be all about you one minute and then ignore you the next. I’ve tried to solve the mystery of how you and me went from being in love together to me being miserable. How all the promises that you once told me vanished the same day you decided to leave me, and how I was in constant pain and you were ok. How you went from being the sweetest guy I know to this guy I don’t even recognize. The cold hug and the awkward gaze, the short kiss and the small talks and how long before you left me I already felt we were drifting apart. Cause you see, I was still hoping I’d wake up one day with you right by my side telling me everything was going to be ok, that we were going to work things out and that you still wanted to be with me. Because I was still hanging on to every promise and all the plans we made.
