breakups

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

All the Things I Wish I Told Her
When laying in bed at night her face comes to mind. She is euphoria, seeing her encapsulating smile could melt your soul. She was there one second and the next she's gone. I wish I could have calmed her nerves, told her it was okay to have these feelings, because all of them were reciprocated. But being scared of rejection, I hid my face and submerged the feelings that were so desperately crawling to come out. You had your shot, why didn't you take it? These thoughts linger in the air constantly, a world where you could have engulfed her in affection and compassion, treating her how she deserved. She might read this thinking there were others, but it was just her, only her and her beauty.

Boyfriend Chronicles: Part 1
My first boyfriend’s name was Marcus. Our story took a lot of twists, and he's the one relationship that has the most history. I wouldn't call this story tragic...I wouldn't even really call it sad. If there was one word to describe it, I would say it was just "interesting".

One Easy Mistake That Can End a Relationship
What more can a person want when they've found someone they can love? Not for just how beautiful they are physically, and not even for how beautiful their personality is, but for simply how beautiful their soul is. You would think it was a match made in Heaven, or by the Norns (the sisters of fate in Norse mythology), and that who you have is someone you can call your soulmate.

30 Journal Entries to Self-Discovery - Day 5
Hey, Y'all! Happy day five! It's weird, right? This is weird. I've never done a daily follow along blog post. It's always been one article on one topic. So this is so weird for me. However, I'm really enjoying it. I hope you are too and if you're not... then why are you still reading? Anyway, here's the quote for the day: "Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart" - William Wordsmith

My First Love
When you think of love, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Happiness? Starting a family? Butterflies in your belly? I thought all of those too. Until it nearly destroyed me as a person.

First Love
Love. It changes you. They say the longer time passes, the more the wounds heal, but that was not true for me. The pain may have faded slightly, but the scars still linger. They linger deep inside me and have never disappeared.

Take Care
They say it helps to write out how you’re feeling when you’re feeling sad. I feel like I write too much about it so it’s lost its effect on helping me cope... but here I am.

Thoughts After Us
I wonder if you are listening to the same songs to get over me. When I look over at the Spotify side bar, will I see that you were listening to Tash Sultana 7 minutes ago? And will I wonder where you were listening to Tash Sultana? Do you have headphones in at the supermarket, or are you spread out at the foot of your bed, bathing in her melodic melancholy like me?

This Is NOT a Love Story
“This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know upfront, this is not a love story.”- 500 Days of Summer It’s been a little over a year and a half since I have been with my “ex-boyfriend” Griffin. We began to date just before I graduated high school. He was 20-years-old at the time and was already living on his own in an apartment down in Long Beach. Griffin has cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease that causes severe damage to the lungs and other organs. My favorite thing about him was his optimistic outlook on life, and his willingness to fight and beat his disorder, for which there is no cure.

Love, Lust, Abuse
Acceptance, relationships—we as humans are naturally social creatures. We strive for perfection, acceptance, and love. We try to use these skills to make new friends. Sometimes this blooms into something more. Love is a huge concern for most people. We look for it, and in most cases it happens unexpectedly. But other occasions we have it without realizing it’s not love, it’s control.

It’s been at least five years. Five years since I was with you. Things ended terribly... I will admit it. I firmly believe that you were at fault. You may say different.

Café De Tournesol
Lavender The colour of your hair reminded me of what used to be my favourite colour. Your fragrance reminded me of what used to be my favourite scent. Lavender. A colour, a scent, a word that I was not able to get out of my mind since the day you left. I hope I remind you of something. I hope you even still think of me. I hope the sounds of footsteps that resemble mine make you tremble. Because that’s what happens to me. I know that you are gone for good & nothing can change that. But help me remember how good the word “lavender” felt on the tip of my tongue.
