breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Life After You
My life before you was good. I had my freedom. I had my goals and ambitions and dreams. I didn’t have to answer to anyone for anything. My life before you was good. However, my life before you lacked something. I wanted a partner to share life with. I wanted someone I could confide in and talk to. I wanted to feel wanted. This is where you came along.

This Woman Who I Loved
I’ve had trouble letting go of love; of the love I’ve felt which I shouldn’t have felt. Of the longing which kept throbbing inside my chest after every other piece of my heart had been broken. I longed for the woman who scarred the most intimate chambers of my individual soul, and I longed for her while she did it, and I longed for her while she walked away.

A Tattoo to Cover the Pain
My friends would always ask me “ Brittany why are you wearing a long sleeves its 80 out?” and my reply would always be “ Oh you know me always cold” and quickly change the conversation. Little did even my best of friends know that I was hiding a long history of abuse that they would never understand the depth of and that I would never admit to.

Narcissistic Love
Have you ever been so angry, you scared yourself? That the anger that filled you felt so inhuman, even you didn't know what would happen next? I pray you never meet the person who can bring you to that level. A level so deep, you can haunt your own dreams with it. It's like an evil awakening of a superpower you didn't know you had; a capability that only the very deepest, seemingly inaccessible part of you, even knew existed.

How to Stay in Love Forever, Alone
Until Death do I Part I met my soulmate when I was was 23. It was the night Princess Diana died, just so you can pinpoint the day. My best friend was going to uni with him and she had already decided he was perfect for me. The first time I saw him, it was just a view of his back, clothed in a turtleneck and lovely overcoat, and without seeing his face, I was mesmerized and turned to my friend and said I wanted to marry him. We were playing pool a short while later when he came over and his face just proved my earlier statement to me. Virtually the first thing he ever heard me say was in response to someone saying that Diana had been in an accident, and I groaned and rolled my eyes and said great, now we’re going to hear about Diana’s road to recovery for months. No, the guy said, she’s dead. Oh, was all I could say, while my soulmate is just staring at my callousness.

I thought I loved myself enough
Why a woman should learn to love herself Growing up I always thought I loved myself until I had my first boyfriend. I thought I was strong, confident and self assured until he proved me wrong. I thought I could trust him because he loved me and he made me feel special until the true definition was blurred unless he said it was so. You see a man, or in my case a narcissist will tell you you’re perfect, you’re his ideal type and how attractive you are. He will shower you with love, attention and affection. He will spend as much money needed to over compensate for the areas he lacks and he will take your body, when he wants to because you now belong to him.

A moment of clarity
People say that there are moments in your life when everything becomes clear. I have heard it called 'a light bulb moment', 'a moment of clarity' 'a sudden realisation. They say that these moments are what drive you forwards. Give you direction and slingshot you into the future.

Codependency
I always thought that codependency meant that you relied on others fully and just HAD to have them in your life and that you did not make any decisions without them; you did not make a move without their input. I have come to see that it is so much more.
