breakups

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

What I Learned from My Failed Relationship
Let me introduce myself. My name is Agnes and I'm a 27-year-old woman that can count on her hand how many relationships I have had. Pretty sad, right? I haven't had that much luck on relationships and I haven't had much luck on guys either. This story isn't for some pity party, but this is something I need to write to tell someone what I've learned from it. What I learned about me and what I should be looking for in a relationship and also a partner. Let me just say, this will have a lot of cuss words in it.

Little Things to Do While Dealing with a Heartbreak
So before I give you tips I’ve personally used that have helped me, I’m not at all saying all or any of these will “definitely” work for you in helping you completely get over a heartbreak. But these small little tips will definitely get your mind off of things and get you back into life and start to feel like yourself again. No one truly understands how much a heartbreak can impact someone’s life and effect it. I developed very unhealthy coping habits that really messed with my mental and physical and emotional health for what most people think it's something that isn’t that “serious.” It’s never easy getting over it so I just wanna give you some easy effective ways to deal with it to start getting your mind off of it.

The End
I find a lot of happiness in dark skies. I think it's because they remind me of summers back home. No matter how bright the sun shined, you could always expect a storm in the middle of the day. The midafternoon showers frustrated most people in Florida, but I always appreciated them. I think it was the consistency, but also the smell after it was over. It smelled like a new beginning before the moon even arrived.

How to Get over Your Ex
Now I understand fully the terms “forgive and forget” or “give 'em a chance” or “it happens, it’s life.” Blah blah blah, yes, we get it, but if it continues multiple times, especially if they have a history of being unfaithful, then he/she got to go.

What About Falling out of Love?
This very idea has been pondering around my mind for some time now. It is a complex topic to write about and candidly, it will take me more time to draw up a complete conclusion of my own but here is where I will take a break and share my thoughts.

The Best Goodbye
Evenings became rather intriguing and so did mornings, afternoons, and every other moment spent with him as everyone loved him except for me. I eventually managed to gather enough courage and a few rental properties for him to choose from, but to my surprise, he had no interest in any of them and threw a fit over it. He wanted to be a part of my family. He wanted to live with us in my home where everyone was happy except for me.

The Breakup Bounce Back
Whether you’ve been broken up with or you’re the one doing the breaking, you always go through an adjustment period when you become newly single. Sometimes it’s excitement or relief when letting go of a relationship that’s lost its edge. Sometimes it’s unexpected and you feel lost and broken. Regardless of your situation, finding yourself again is an important step to letting go, healing, moving on, and even preparing for your next relationship.

Letters for Myself: Part Two
To John Smith: Image Dear Mr. Smith, John Smith, I chuckle at the lack of creativity, as our mutual "friend" (I add the quotation marks only for you) continues her praises.

Late Night Thoughts
Was I too much of a woman? I swallowed my demons and fell for you anyways, knowing the consequences of love. I was vulnerable, attentive, engulfed in who I thought you were, only to be let down again in the end.

We Were 15
Everybody has a first heartbreak. Most people experience this in high school or their first year of college. Mine was no different than that.

The Heartbreak
Where do I begin with all this lovey-dovey stuff. First of all, many people in life have been through so much lately. One thing that’s very common in society is heartbreak. Why doesn’t this stop? Well, nobody knows why this happens to people. Everybody, mostly everyone, doesn't think about their significant other or that you are going to hurt them. You don’t think ... Think before you act. You need to understand that if you love someone, you’ve got to fight for them. Otherwise, that person will leave you and never come back to you, and you’ll be heartbroken. And it will be all your fault, because you never managed to be with that person. Now you have this guilt in your heart that’s never going to leave you until you do something. But it will be too late for you. Because now you’ve lost the person you loved. That person is gone from your life. So let me tell you a story about the kid that I’ve been in love with for years, but I needed to let go of him.
