breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
The Emptiness (Part 2)
("The Emptiness" Part 1 here.) How do you deal with the ruining of a friendship? You fell for them but they fell for someone else. You say your goodbyes and now you're crying. Trying to deal with the consequences of never saying you liked them early on, like an idiot trying to ski down the Italian Alps. Running into trees, going over the cliffs, plummeting to your death. But you remember you're in the office with others around you trying to not cry like a little girl, making mistakes is a part of life, you let someone go who you feel for. It was for your own good, the pain wasn't good for you, but this new pain it feels worse than the anxious pain. Which is worse? Anxious pain or the grief of letting the one you have feelings for go? They almost feel of the same level of pain just a different kind of pain. Craving their arms around you, their lips on yours, and their body between your legs. However, this isn't possible due to the anxiety within. It stopped everything and ruined the potential relationship and ruins the already friendship. How long until the plummeting to death ends? Does it come to an end when someone new comes along? Or does it end when you hit the ground? Either way, all that is known is that the pain will end one way or another with another or with acceptance. Now is the time to try and move on, to find yourself within, know who you are and what it is you want out of life. The focusing of life, those goals that you have, those are the things that matter. It's difficult, though, isn't it? This innate need to have someone is more of a want; humans are self sufficient, able to move along life and become powerful in their own way.

But, Baby
It started in high school. Girl meets boy and girl likes boy. Typical, I know. He was younger than her but she didn’t care. They would flirt in the hallways and on their way to classes until he finally asked for her number. When he asked her to be his girlfriend, she said yes, of course. Shouldn’t that be the happiest moment of her life? She thought so.

Never As It Seems
It all started about 5 or 6 years ago. I was only 15 and he was 16. The one kid I was always scared of, always scared to get near. I never thought he would be the one. My first love, the one I still love. I never once thought that I would be the one to ever get depressed or have anxiety. The very first time we ever dated was 6 years ago. Never thought I would or even could feel this way about somebody. Our first few years were very dumpy. Always on and off. Constantly fighting. I could never leave my house without being accused of cheating. Couldn’t go to a friend's house and hang out with calling and asking first. But actually besides all that, he was still really caring, loving, and sweet. Just a little crazy. We grew up together basically.

A Letter to Myself
Dear Defeated, Third failed relationship down, who knows how much more to go. Maybe it’s the lack of effort you feel you deserve to have after it’s over, or the genuine desire to give up. Either way, you simply can't bring yourself to do it all over again.

The Last Line
She laid in the bed wide awake. She could hear him lightly snoring and wondered how he could sleep so peacefully. She tossed and turned every night with the same thoughts haunting her brain. Even the music she blasted through her ear buds couldn't block out the thoughts. She glanced at the clock, 2:07 AM. She had to be up in less than four hours. She flipped on her side and looked at him. She studied his peaceful face. His stubble was just starting to grow in. His chest would slowly move up and down with every breath he took. She wanted to cry. She didn’t want to hurt him anymore.
