breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
A Heart Matters
I admit that I am a hopeless romantic. Since my adolescent years I have dreamed of nothing but the day my king would find me and save me. For years I’ve searched for love only to find out that love isn’t so black and white. Love is like an onion to me. Just when I though I understood love and had it under control another heartbreak would peel off another layer of love.

I'm Ripped Apart
I keep writing and rewriting this piece, hoping to eventually find the strength to explain how much pain I'm in. How every, "I'm sorry," and, "Things will work out for the better," makes me feel like someone keeps pressing a button on a blender that someone forced into my insides, pulsing my stomach and heart to bits. I mean, I know that heartbreak is a normal part of life and that no one can be expected to live forever with the person that they love, but still. It's been months now, and I still can't get her out of my head.

Love Lost
When you're young, love is everything or so you think. Falling in love is easy, it's the falling out that's the tricky part. I am 35 with two young children and now separated from my husband. To be fair we have been separated for two years, but for some strange reason I cannot let go.

Broken Beyond Fixing
You spend so much of your life believing sayings that have no truth to them other than a slight probability. You believe in the "third time's the charm" saying, as if once you hit the third try, you will automatically succeed. You believe that slow and steady wins the race when really you don't always have that much control in every situation that you need to start out slow. Sometimes you don't have any option other than hitting the ground running and not stopping until you have no other option. You believe it when your mother says you'll know when it's meant to be forever. That's one of the harshest lies you could convince yourself. She means well when she says it, but she doesn't know for a fact that you'll know right away and that it will work out.

Toxic Lifestyles Are Not Permanent
As of today I am happily married, living a great life away from drugs and abuse. It definitely wasn’t easy to get to this point in my life though. I was once very lost and stuck in the most abusive relationship I’ve ever had that led to a lot of different outcomes. We’ll call this ex boyfriend of mine Gill. I’ve made a different name for him to protect his identity.

10 Surefire Signs You Were Supposed to Break Up
Hindsight really is 20/20, especially when it comes to an unhealthy kinda love. Unfortunately, that realization can suck big time when it comes to matters of the heart. Because really, if you knew on the front end that someone wasn’t the best for you or that the relationship would eventually come to an (oftentimes emotionally brutal) end, would you have ever gotten involved with them in the first place? Probably not.

11 Signs You Don't Love Your Partner Anymore
When you first fall in love, it's really easy to feel like it'll last forever. Unfortunately, most relationships aren't built to last, and statistics show that. As much as we want relationships to work, sometimes, it's just impossible to do so.

Thank You for Tearing Me Apart
I thought I had found my forever with you. A future without you became a future I couldn’t imagine, and I was not so secretly already planning our wedding. Everything we did was together, and every decision we made was discussed with the other. We were so good at compromise, and the chemistry we shared was unmatchable. We meshed so well together, and I was the happiest I had ever been.
