breakups

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

My April Playlist
I am always in search of new music. I enjoy a wide range of music genres and am always in the mood to move or be moved. Music accompanies me every moment possible: while I walk, shop, exercise, work, cook, drive, sleep, meditate, and while creating art. It helps me to focus, to elevate and shape my mood, to relax, and to recall defining moments of my life.

Margot...
When I look back at being in middle school, I tend to look at them as if it's a franchise in a movie like they're sequels. 7th grade was the best year since it started everything, and it felt like things had shifted gears a little bit in the middle of the year, but it ended up with the best results from an unexpected move. 8th grade was by far the worst. It was filled with nothing but drama, then, 9th grade came and magic, sadness, and a bunch of other stuff happened because we went to high school after that.

Missing Someone Who Is Bad For You
Do you remember Gotye’s one hit wonder Somebody That I Used to Know? I remember dancing to that song as a 12 year old, belting it over and over again until my mom literally forbade me from listening to it. Now 20 years old, I just heard it play in a movie, and suddenly I’m feeling tears fill my eyes. Memories of someone who had fallen out of my life invaded my mind and poisoned me with an all-consuming sense of loss. Suddenly I’m sitting next to my long-term partner thinking about someone else I used to hold close before him. Someone who’s caused me pain. Someone who I haven’t talked to in over a year. I realize it isn’t about Gotye’s song at all.

Break up's VS Continuing relationships
Let's talk about these two most difficult stages in an individuals life where this makes it so confusing for both the parties in a relationship phase.Breaking up with the person you have loved for so many year's is harder than continuing a relationship with the same person even after you have broken up, is even more difficult to erase all the memories and the feelings you have had for that person.

Shout Out to My Ex
We have all heard the song Shout Out to My Ex by Little Mix. I can honestly say that we have all felt that in our lives. We all want to shove it to our ex and tell them I am so much better without you. The reality is in our heartbreak, we feel our anger like everything is out of our control and this is something that we can control we can get back at them. We can show them that they are missing out on the best thing that has ever happened to them. The reality is we are still hurting from them and we are still not over them. As long as we are still doing things for them they have power over us.

Left or Right?
Hey can I tell u a story. I wanna know you're opinion. Two friends were walking down a path and they came to an intersection. One friend wished to go left and the other right. The one going right promised to meet back a few years later and said they promised that no matter what they would be good friends. The one going left then burst into tears and said that it wouldn't happen like that and they were doomed if they went down that path. Feeling guilty the right agreed to go down the left road with them. Seeing them happy made them feel good but they knew in their heart that they shouldn't have come down with them on the left path. It was not where they needed to go. But they feared the others unhappiness. So they continued. After time there was a fork in the road and the right path lead to the destination on the previous right path. The other begged and pleaded and made the same claims. But they knew in their heart it was not right. So with tears in their eyes, they departed down the right path. As they got further down the path they saw the falseness of the lefts claims. It was nothing like they said. They became happier and seemed to thrive. But the knowledge of the lie. And the guilt the right suffered. They knew it was hard to leave ones you love. But that was ridiculous. But they also knew that their friend had good intentions at heart. Soon after, another traveller met on the right path in tears. It had seemed that the same thing had happened. But not only that. The left had told them not to go down the right path also. And the guilt consumed them. But the right helped them press on. For no one should love another or stay with another for a guilty conscience and fear of hurting others. Sometimes that is inevitable. Once they got to the end of the road they found a sweet little town where everyone was friendly and kind. After a few months they decided to go back to the intersection and meet those who went down the left path and see how they had faired. Once they reached it they saw them walking up the left path shouting insults and guilty claims trying to make them feel bad about their decisions. But they had learned. So they just smiled, wished them good day and returned to the town.

vol 1. i'm not quite sure, anymore...
When someone says they’re still in love with someone, it’s probably quite true. But we love who they used to be. Who they were when they were around us. The late night conversations, the Saturday naps, the nights where we drank and our smiles ran wild. I almost know for a fact that I would never be able to be with this person again. But my heart will always hold a place for them, hoping they will go back to their old ways and love me like before. But we all change, and I think that’s important to realize. To come to a realization that when we fell in love, we were different then we are now. Because love changes us, either for the better or worse. I think it changed me for the better, but the heartbreak shows me that this is what I don’t want and I can’t go back to, no matter how much my heart tells me that I need too, because I’m no longer in love with who they are, but who they were. And that’s quite sad.

What to do when you get dumped
Being dumped is hard, for everyone. It doesn’t matter how old you are, how long you had been together or how invested you felt. It’s hard.

To the first
What qualifies as a first love? Is it your first kiss back in 3rd grade or is it the quarterback you let take your virginity in the back of his pickup? For me, its you. Its the way you looked at me, adoring and innocent. It was your lips pressed against mine for the first time. And more than anything it was just you being you, breathing, sleeping, simple you. Does that make me weird? Does it make you want to change your mind?

Sincerely, Me
Dear Ex-Husband, I wish I could tell you how sorry I am. I wish you could see how guilty I feel, how I still lay awake crying at night, unable to sleep, because I can’t forgive myself for what I’ve done. How I hurt you.

Would you be with an abuser who you loved once?
Domestic abuse over the years have only been perpetuated if not ideally put an end to. Women who are victims choose either to speak up and face backlash from the society or digest every humiliation and seconds of hurt they are inflicted. As deplorable as it sounds, the toxic masculinity of men and them being raised and conditioned to believing that women are merely inferior to them in all sectors of life is what creates a community of people whose mindsets are sternly reduced to objectifying women.

Jigsaw Perfect
I think that the reason I love to read books so much can explain what I have been struggling to put into words. I loved talking to him in person, sat face to face, because even though his mind was messy, it was a lovely maze, filled to the brim with ideas; blossoming flowers of thought that flowed when he talked about what he was working on. He danced around his projects when he was with me; one by one his thoughts unfolded and being with him in the ceremony of his creations upon their completion was a wonder I never took for granted. His face was animated with emotion, he was physically unable to hide how he felt, and he took this in his stride. As much as he tried though, it took someone who could see through the flashy smiles and twinkling eyes to realise he was constantly standing on an ever-thinning rope as he edged closer to teetering off. All of this was masked with pints of alcohol and films. Then he stopped hiding it, he waited to go home so he could forget his day like it was something he wanted to forget.
