breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Your Curse
I don’t quite understand how you have scarred me so deeply, that even after years of having not thought of you and it has been so long that I can no longer remember what your face or voice were like, it feels extremely odd to have but one small mention of you break me so wholly. How, may I ask, am I ever supposed to lead a life of my own, when you have left such a dark spot upon my soul? Or am I never to let you leave me and to let you live my life for me? Was that your plan all along that you would fix me, let me think I was okay, and then the minute I wasn’t, I would be made to give my life to you, as your own to lead as you wish? In order for me to repent and be forgiven for showing the cracks in your work, my soul would be yours? The moment I decided to let the cracks show and let anything that wasn’t by your design and perfect take over me, you had to claim my existence as yours? So you could have nothing but the shell of my body, the hollow remnant of my existence, for your own to play with and control as you please for all of time. It’s been so long I don’t know if you’re still alive and yet your evil still lives on in me, controlling me, making my life yours, allowing you to preserve your mark on this world. It lives in me making sure that the whole world will know and remember your evil.

My First "Real" Relationship
I didn't have a "real" boyfriend until my senior year of high school. At this point in my life, I had experimented with both sex and intimacy, but something always got in the way (that something being my terrible taste in men). At this point in time, I was ready to be done with messing around with people that didn't care about me. 18 is a young age to live by this sort of mantra, I know.

Each Time I Change the Story: Outgrown
I don’t remember our first interaction, but I do know we didn’t cross paths immediately, despite the small environment we belonged to. I remember thinking you had the build of a runner, tall and slender. Your eyes were darker than mine, and your legs were so long, they’d stretch up past my waist if we were side by side. You were always lingering after hours, entertaining whoever else was still around. You had a great sense of humor.

A Betrayal
And I breathe. I breathe and I think about the girl with the sunshine voice, with the hair made of silk and the smile that could light up the world. I think of all I know of her. Her dark passions she keeps under lock and key, hidden behind rainbows and kittens, a testament that she isn't as innocent as she seems. She shares this part of herself so rarely; only the internet and I know how deep her darkness goes. I sit and I think of the first meeting, so awkward so naive, neither of us knew how important the other would be to keeping our sanity.

Finding Inspiration After Losing "The One"
Romantic relationships are one of the most important connections we experience as individuals. Every aspect of a relationship can teach us new lessons and make us feel like we are a part of something greater than ourselves. Happy relationships can provide us with amazing adventures and take us to places we may never have seen. We are able to build a bond with another person that is intimate and powerful while growing in our own sense of happiness and security. Many times in these relationships, the partners will experience a growth in self-confidence and motivation; a drive to fill their lives with the euphoric feeling that love can provide.

A Longtime Broken Love
A young, ambitious and hopeless romantic woman meets a kind hearted, ambitious and hardworking young man on an online Christian dating website in hopes that she found her Mr.Right for the rest of her life. When she first started talking to him everything seemed fine, he shared his ambitions of impacting the world with the word of God as he was working towards being a preacher of his local church. She in return was very proud to be with someone with such a big heart and a passion for spreading the word of Jesus Christ. He told her she was going to be first lady of that church and they were going to get married and have a lot of children. They were going to be happy together forever. She thought that there was no way a man of that caliber was going to love her and want her fully like that, but little did she know she would soon be right.

Dreams Shouldn't End at Christmas, but Sometimes They Do. Top Story - December 2018.
It has always been a dream of mine to one day have a family home equal to my grandfather's, where Christmas would bring friends and family in from the cold and closer to the fireside. He taught me how to love Christmas. Almost every room in my grandparent's house had a tree. He had a homemade nativity crib, strings of coloured lights across the ceiling, sweets, sacks of presents, clove decorated oranges and strange parlour games handed down from his Victorian grandparents. His mischievous character and his childlike joy at that time of year live on in my siblings and me.

My Fiancé Ghosted Me and Kept the Cat
I was dating a man for four years who planned to marry me. Six months in, he proposed without a ring. After a year and a half, he told me that he likes to do things suddenly and to be prepared if he suddenly took me to a courthouse to get married. I asked if I should then buy a dress because I wouldn't want to do it in regular clothes and he said 'yes,' so I bought the dress.
