breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Why You Lost Me
There are many reasons why a person gives up on another person. Maybe it’s just not worth fighting for anymore. Maybe it’s a toxic relationship. Relationships are friendships, lovers, family members, etc. Whatever it may be, there are two sides to every story. Both sides will think that they are right, even though they’re both wrong and right all at once. Recently I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m not a good friend to people who treat me poorly. I’m not saying people have always treated me poorly, because at one point I was obviously their friend for a reason. Maybe the time has changed.

Why a Break Won’t Break Me
I’ll admit that in the last few days, I have spent most of my alone time sobbing and my time in public trying not to. Then, one day it stopped. I had realized that just like you needed a break to better yourself, I could do the same. I took my alone time and turned it into inspiration, and here’s a few things I’ve learned.

Burning Bridges
I will never forget burning your clothes. You left our apartment and ran to the arms of another girl, leaving me alone in a place filled with all of your things and nothing but memories of what was, could have been, and never would be. I was filled with so much rage and sadness when I created the pile of all the nonessentials you had left. I thought I could make that place my home, if I could just reduce you to nothing but a pile in the living room, but all the pile did was remind me that the place I WAS in that WE WERE in, was exactly that. Just a place filled with I and not WE. I hated that pile. That fucking pile that of failed love. That fucking pile proving to me over and over, that I was alone, had been left, that loving me wasn’t worth it.

My 3 Months Dating a Narcissistic Psychopath
(Please note: since these incidents, I have looked up, and researched, narcissism and gaslighting. He fit almost every detail of them. Plus, I have since deleted his texts so the following incidents are purely from memory.)

That Night You Left
That night you left still lingers on my skin just like if it was yesterday. The words "I can't do this anymore" still haunt me up to this day. The sound of your voice and laugh still burns me like if I was swallowing fire. As soon as you said those words, my whole world stopped and my heart fell. I went in my room trying to hide my tears but I could not. I completely fell to my knees not knowing what to do or say. I wondered how I was going to get through every day. I cried until I was completely dry but it never stopped. I prayed that it was just a dream that you would still be with me tomorrow and forever. As soon as everyone fell asleep, my demons came back, and I cried your name out and I did a piece of art on my wrist which I will always regret. I felt completely numb after and I had laid down in bed looking up at my ceiling praying to God to give me strength. I decided to move my pride aside and begged you, but that did not work and that is my biggest regret. I thought of the many things I still had left to tell you and I knew I will never be able to tell you. I was in darkness with my own demons to face. I went through every day trying not to break at random times.

Dear You...
I saw it coming, I knew heartbreak was soon to come and I had no choice but to bear it. Even through the mental step of knowing it was coming, I still couldn't bear it. I became a mess as my entire world shattered around me. Watched everything fall to the ground while I fell with it, shattered, broken, and gone forever. You didn't care if I was going to be okay, all you knew is that you wanted something better.
