breakups

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

Seeing You
It had been years since she came back here. Michelle had spent most of her life running away from this town, hoping to escape the pain of the past. But unfortunately, it had not worked. Life seemed more than determined to remind her of that difficult time all over again. She was back in her hometown for the first time in seven years.

In the Service of a 'Friend'
I am baffled, in disbelief even. I know me better than anyone but I cannot wrap my brain around how I've come to this point. Actually, there are many points, none of which seem to add up. I should just jump right into this. if I don't, I'll chicken out. So, here goes nothing and everything.

“Hello, YOU” (Reference to the Netflix series YOU)
I agreed with my husband and my son’s father that enough is enough, I will leave to find my own way in life, that I could not live like this anymore, with his parents, with him as my bother not my husband.

“Don’t you know I’m no good for you?”
What if your whole existence you ask the universe for true love and when you find it, you can’t recognize it, as you don’t know its face? You don’t recognize the gestures, the words, the closeness, the emotional connections and vibrations because it never felt like that before. Because by now you lost faith that any man can love you like you deserve to be loved. I wish we would be born with a built in kit in our hearts and brains on “how to spot the ones who truly love you”.

Falsely Hoping
Life is fickle. It gives you so much happiness and then takes that happiness away in the worst moment, causing so much pain. Love is also like this; the giving and giving, taking and taking. More and more, you give and take and go back and forth, round and round.

What Happened to Me
What happened to you? This is a question I get a lot. You used to be fun and easy-going. Now you're just tense and seemed stressed all the time.

Living with the ex
The terrifying moment happened. We ended. We cried, trying to be comforting to each other. We tried to make it better for the other person, we did everything we could to cherish the lovely memories we had created together, you and me baby. But I’m not going to lie, even now I am still trying not to call you that anymore because I lost you. I lost you and no matter what you are telling me, I can’t not think it was all my fault.

Falling from cloud 9
It's cold without you here to hold me. It slaps me in the face like a dark winter night. I told you I would love you for forever and as you said the same, your soul was telling a lie and you stayed silent. I fell in love with you so quickly and fast, with no hesitation or limitations but I thought you were reciprocating my feelings, at least thats what you told me. Never once did I think it was one sided until the sun started to set at five on a Friday morning and my gut told me to do something I knew was going to crush and kill me but was making me hope that I was just being paranoid and you would come out clean and trustworthy. As I sat on the floor of our bedroom with your phone in one hand, unlocked and ready and my phone in my other hand ready to capture any secrecy as you slept so heavily. My heart began to throb, my throat clenched and my stomach turned in ways I never thought it could. As I went from app to app, text to text, note to note, it came very abundantly clear that I wasn't being paranoid and you didn't love me the way I thought you did.

Do Blondes Really Have More Fun?
He just needed some time alone. Or at least, that's what he told me. And like an idiot, I believed him. But that's what you do when you've fallen so completely head over heels for someone. You try so desperately to see past all the warning signs and convince yourself that what he's telling you is true, that he does just need some time. That he is just going through something that he needs space to deal with. I mean, I feel like the words 'compulsive liar' might be a bit harsh but yet here we are.

The Wedding
So this is it, I thought. In three quarters of an hour I shall be a married woman. With clammy hands I smoothed down the front of my dress. I had fallen in love with that dress from the first time I’d tried it on. Eleven petticoats underneath sparkling ivory silk and taffeta. Beautiful.
