1. Accept what happened I know that accepting what happened is real torture, but you need to do it to actually start healing. Just do it fast, like when ripping off a band-aid. It’ll hurt less, but it won’t make you feel better. I won’t lie to you and tell you that things will magically…
You no longer consume my thoughts. You’re a simple memory so far removed from my life that I can’t even imagine my life with you in it. And it took me so long to get to this point, longer than I ever thought possible. But it’s not easy to let go of someone you gave…
I never knew how to answer the million-dollar question of “Why don’t you have a boyfriend?” People would list all my good qualities and all I could do was turn it into a joke and say that I was overqualified. The truth is I can have a boyfriend any day, but I want a man…
My walls were up, I wasn’t about to let anyone in ever again. I was so hurt and so broken in the past that I swear I couldn’t handle one more crappy relationship. The loneliness would get to me at times but I knew deep down that I was better off on my own. I…

We all need that final statement, that final conversation to say goodbye. Without closure, you don’t know why a relationship has ended, you can’t say with…
It’s so damn hard to forget someone I looked forward to seeing every day. It’s so hard to forget all the memories I have, all the moments we went through, and it’s so hard to let go of someone I love to the moon and back. And I do love you, to the moon and…
Sometimes I wish I had been born in much simpler times. I wish I had been born when dating was simpler, when life was simpler. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with how we live today. Everything has its bad and its good sides but somehow I think that the bad has started…
Every heartbreak is, to say the least, a pain in the ass. You don’t only feel the emotional pain that’s been eating you alive, you’re angry.
