the mind can do it, rationally. but heartache is something you canât think away. one day, after many months, you wake up and thinking about it doesnât shake you to your core - the âwhat ifsâ donât sound too good either. one random day you just wake up and itâs like nothing ever happened, it DID happen but itâs not part of you in the same way.

Day 1 of heart break:
Why is it so hard to fathom this feeling until youâre fully swimming 10 feet deep in it. You think to yourself âif and when it happens, Iâll be prepared, this isnât my first rodeo, no biggie babyâ. Then it hits you like a ton of brick, an achy pain that just kinda sits on your chest all day. Itâs not just a physical weight, itâs almost a knot in your throat. As your eyes well up you repeat the mantra âthis too shall pass, this too shall passâ and delete their number along with all pictures of them and the places youâve been, emails shared and LinkedIn messages exchanged (we old).
This feels like an emo AIM status.

âthereâs something strange about the headAche that follows a good cry. it lingers. an aching reminder that the tEars were real. that the sadness was deep. the thrObbing in my temPles feels like a weight. but also a strange clarity. when everything seems blurred and raw. the mind is sharp in a way itâs neVer been before. itâs as though the heart and tHe mind have found a rhythm together. a rhythm that only comes with the quiet aftermath of pain.
itâs during this vulnerability - when tHe world feels heavy and silent that creativity flows best. when sadness wears away the surface - the soul has space to create without barriers. thereâs honesty in it, a kind of bruTal truth that can only emerge from the deepest emotions. the ache. thouGh painful. clears the path for something new to emErge. itâs almost as if the sorrow is the soil for growth, and from it, idEas sprout and twist.
but i kNow that this isnât forever. the headache will fade, and with it, the weight of tears. what once felt overWhelming will soften. moments are just the prelude to something better. the clouds will break. there will be space for the light to return.

Live with heartbreak for a while. Itâll be different but the same. Youâll forget why and then remember and feel it all over again. Delete their pictures but keep them in a secret folder on your phone so you can cry by yourself watching their face smile at you.
Re-learn old habits youâve forgotten you even enjoyed because you strayed so far away from who you once were. In some odd way youâll have to re-learn happiness, too. Well, not so much re-learning it but changing its meaning, find new ways to feel fulfilled, the same way you once felt with them.
Make some more lame playlists with oddly specific titles so you at least feel like youâre making something out of all the quiet pain you feel inside.
And wonder. A lot of wondering. All the time. Everywhere. In your house. At your job. Inside your body and next to you in the bed you once woke beside them, smiling.
And youâll never forget, but it will get painfully easier.

đi think that heartbreak is one of the most (if not THE most) human experiences of all time. it hurts so bad but also hurts so strangely good in a âi feel so alive rn and i love so muchâ type of way. through all of the vivid and gut-wrenching emotions, it forces you to grow so fucking much both maturity-wise and identity-wise. so yeah, heartbreak is tonights rec
