breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
I Hear the Doorbell Ring
I hear the doorbell ring. That's how it usually starts. Every now and then, I think about Ricardo coming back to me. I've imagined this conversation a million times in my head. I'm at a hotel room in Buenos Aires, as I am today. Maybe because that's where we met so many times, so many years ago. I'm looking out the window trying to gather the strength to see him face-to-face again, for the first time in 12 years.

To Those Who Are Looking for Closure
This is for the ones who feel stuck with unanswered questions. Who are dealing with a situation in their lives that has reached a point of stagnation, the kind that disturbs your peace and seems to disrupt the balance in your life. For the ones who are waiting. Waiting for a change, waiting for movement, for an answer…for something they wish was within their control.

For the Man Who Was too Young to Realize that the Love of His Life Was Right in Front of Him
You don't get it do you? That girl is in love with you. She's the kind of girl you want and need by your side through everything. The kind of girl who loves you despite everything and anything. She's the girl who will love you when you are at your lowest and have nothing and she'll be there when you're at your highest and have everything. She's the girl that will be there for you for everything. The girl who looks at you and smiles because she sees her whole world in front of her. The girl who wants nothing and no one but you. The girl your parents loved. The girl who is loyal and defends you from everyone who says she deserves better. She would do anything for you. The girl you can pull closer in the middle of the night. The girl you could wake up beside every morning and know that you are loved so greatly. She gave you that once in a lifetime kind of love. You were so in love with her. She was everything to you.

Curiosity Killed the Person, Too
After 3 months of awkwardly attempting to remain friends with my ex—the guy I was on and off with for years—I couldn’t stand it anymore. I just had to find out what he was up to. I could handle it, I told myself. I already knew that he’d been seeing someone (thanks, Facebook). I couldn’t resist clicking on his profile and scrolling down his timeline. And even though I managed to make it through quite a few happy-sounding posts (including some about his new girlfriend) without crying, I had to admit, it stung. Even worse, though, was admitting that once again, I let my curiosity get the best of me, and if I had just listened to my conscience, I wouldn’t have to feel this way.

How Disney World Destroyed My Relationship
Welp, story time. This ones a little sad, okay? Buckle up. Last year, around this time I had started seeing someone. I met him at a grocery store that him and I were working at. He was different and always made me laugh, although at first I wasn't really into him. It took a few dates and a few kisses to realize I was actually head-over-heels for the stupid fuck. We started "dating" in November 2015. We started like any other young relationship: texting constantly, snapchatting and hanging around one an other as much as humanly possible. It was great, but there was always this dark cloud hanging over our relationship, because we both knew it would be long distance soon enough. Let me explain, first of all, let's give this fucker a name... let's call him Dingus. So Dingus went to culinary school. He's a great cook, and as a part of the program he was in...he got to select an internship and well...intern there. Dingus decided to go to Disney World...the happiest place on Earth...duh. Dingus would never want to talk about him leaving, he would get sad and shut down...like any real man!

When Someone Stops Loving You
You know the old feeling? The one where your heart beats three times as fast. The feeling of every inch of your body feeling like its on fire every time they touch you. The air leaving your lungs when they walk into the room. The love in their eyes whenever they look at you. It was magical, wasn't it? And I'm sure you miss it very much.
