breakups

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

Abusive Relationships?
Relationships; when you think of one you think of all the good times you could have with someone not the downhill battle that lies underneath. The truth of who someone really is is hidden underneath their skin that shows when they become angry at you or someone else. How hard it is to picture someone you love being that way.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Fire. Fire is supposed to be intimidating and terrifying. It's supposed to represent everything evil and all that Hell stands on, a den of iniquity. It's supposed to be a representation of consumption as the flames lick their victims and devour all in its path. It's supposed to signify ferociousness, strength, devotion, and passion. It's supposed to symbolize fear and karma; things that go in can never come out the same. Fire also models death and the ashes it creates. Fire is a reminder of love and the warmth that radiates off of it. It's what relaxes most of us when we're cold; what we imagine and think of in a log cabin, or camping out at night; when some of us like to have a crisp beer in front of a bonfire with friends or having a small fire pit to roast some marshmallows and sing campfire songs. But of all things, I never thought that witnessing something that I assumed would be so healing and relaxing turn out so differently.

Side Chick
So let's start where this all began. I worked at a fast food company for 3 years and well I found it horrific but that's a story for another time. Whilst working long hours here there was always a manager I feared working with. The manager made me cry on one of my first shifts by shouting loads at me whilst I was training. From here on in I'd spend most shifts hiding from her and even changed my availability as much as I could so I wouldn't see her.

Wounded Survivor
Do you ever think of me? I still think of you but I wish I didn’t. You still haunt my nightmares and have created a fear that is instilled inside me. I wish there was a drug that could erase your existence in my life. Then maybe I could revert back to the woman I use to be. To this day, there is still a fear that lurks inside my very being from what you did to me. It is a deep cloudy pool and every time I try to swim across or find a way around, all the nightmares start bubbling up again, engulfing me. There is no escape as I sink deeper and deeper into the dark water, begging if not praying, to be free.

Out of the Woods
I pulled the covers over my bare shoulders and pulled a pillow to my naked breasts. I glanced over at the clock. It read 5:55. "He should be back soon," I thought. We lived on a farm somewhere in the middle of Texas. He was always getting up early to feed the cows and do some other farm chores. I rolled over and laid on my back as I started to think. "I hate it here," I would say to myself. But he loves it and I can’t take that away from him. I slowly sat up in bed as soon as he walked back into the room.

Failing at Love
I’ve been in love only twice. My first love was in 8th grade but it didn’t really mean anything, I loved him for the wrong reasons. Our relationship didn’t last long. He was a sweet and caring boy but things never really worked out between us, even though we were in love it didn’t really do anything for us. Yeah, we were in love but we ended up hurting each other in the end. We were supposed to lose our virginity to each other but it didn’t go as planned. I ended up losing it to some asshole and he lost his to this girl he dated after I had moved away. It hurt hearing that. We both stayed very good friends despite how our relationship ended and no matter how much it hurt the both of us.

Inner Demons
Mark couldn’t believe he was here, surrounded by many people he didn’t know. He shuffled through the crowd and took a seat on the side of the room assigned to him. He whipped out his flask and embraced the burn of whiskey as he took a gulp. He closed his eyes and took a deep, calculating breath. The day the invitation arrived in his mailbox was a surprise to him. The ivory paper and gold lining made it known that again, there was a wedding happening, and again, he was a guest. He sat on his couch for an hour deciding if he was going to RSVP and spent another hour deciding whether or not he was bringing a date. Finally, he responded, bought a gift, and drove to the wedding. Here he was, sitting at the wedding of his ex-girlfriend from a few years back. He hadn’t seen her for over 3 years, yet here he was. As thoughts flooded his brain, the muttering in the room stopped as a violin pierced the air with its notes signaling the room to take a seat. The audience turned to see a handsome man strut down the isle, his nervousness apparent on his face. After a few moments, the notes changed and the room eagerly turned to await the arrival of the bride. She appeared in the doorway, her white gown caressing her every curve. Her smile was as white as her dress and her eyes were bright as she took the practiced steps down the isle towards the groom.

Crappy Relationship
Has anyone ever been in a relationship where the other person didn't appreciate you...? Well I have and I'm going to tell you about it but I'm not gonna bore you with the details in between. It started when a girl told me that she liked me but at this point I didn't feel the same until a couple weeks before school. A couple days into school we started dating and this was a mistake because I rushed into the relationship and there was still a lot to learn about her, and for me to see if I could see myself having a long-term relationship with this girl. The worst part about this relationship was that we hung out twice from when we started dating in September till we broke up in January. After two weeks everyone was telling me that I should dump her but I didn’t want to because I still had hope. We argued a bit usually after I would talk to her and try and reassure her that I still want to be in the relationship. One problem was that whenever I had a problem with her instead of talking to her I usually consulted my friends, and even though it was wrong they gave me very helpful advice. When my boy Ziggy found out we were together he was kinda mad because he knew I could do better and my friends at school said the same thing but I didn't listen because I really liked her. But the feelings would slowly diminish whenever I asked her to come to the crib and she said no. She was somehow always busy on weekends and PD days😩. The first time we hung out was amazing but the second time was so bad. Around Christmas time I got her two of her favorite things (fuzzy socks and a flannel) and my friends were saying that I’m too good for her because she’s probably not going to buy me anything.

Inappropriate and Indecisive
Chapter One I could have written a hundred pages on what he looked like, as well as his personality, described both the good and the bad sides. I have so much to say about myself, my feelings and my views of the world, about our relationship, how it was built and what it consisted of. This is a piece of what happens in one’s head when being misled, betrayed, and ignored by someone you had trusted with your heart.

Cold Summer
He stood there at the window of the home as the sunlight that should have been warm drenched over his head and shoulders. It was late June, yet the sunlight felt cold to him, like Father Death’s hands wrapping around his throat and strangling him like some kind of madman. It was as if the world were trying to suffocate him and take him down for all he was.

Heartbreak and Healing Part 2
I went home that night thinking of him as I lay in bed with my fiancé. It was eating away at me. I tried to ignore it, push it to the back of my mind. It seemed the harder I tried the more it became impossible. I laid awake for hours that night watching my partner sleeping peacefully, it felt as with every toss and turn my mind made that night so did my unborn child. I felt sick. I felt disloyal. How could I be planning a future with someone and be infatuated with another? I fell into a unsettled sleep that night.

The Abusive Relationship
It was dark when Tony got out of bed to go on his business trip, but I lay there quietly, not making a sound and wanting him to hurry up and leave so I could pack.
