💔
Day 1 of heart break:
Why is it so hard to fathom this feeling until you’re fully swimming 10 feet deep in it. You think to yourself “if and when it happens, I’ll be prepared, this isn’t my first rodeo, no biggie baby”. Then it hits you like a ton of brick, an achy pain that just kinda sits on your chest all day. It’s not just a physical weight, it’s almost a knot in your throat. As your eyes well up you repeat the mantra “this too shall pass, this too shall pass” and delete their number along with all pictures of them and the places you’ve been, emails shared and LinkedIn messages exchanged (we old).
This feels like an emo AIM status.

Live with heartbreak for a while. It‘ll be different but the same. You’ll 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 you’ve forgotten you even enjoyed because you strayed so far away from who you once were. In some odd way you’ll 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 you’re 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 you’ll never forget, but it will get painfully easier.

🥂the mind can do it, rationally. but heartache is something you can’t think away. one day, after many months, you wake up and thinking about it doesn’t shake you to your core - the “what ifs” don’t sound too good either. one random day you just wake up and it’s like nothing ever happened, it DID happen but it’s not part of you in the same way.

💌i wish we could meet irl and distract from our broken hearts a little bit by doing things together and hug.
im experiencing the same thing rn (devastating and out of the blue) and it helps me write down everything, every thought, word, idea, emotion that i feel i need to write it down.
i’ve seen my friends every day, i’ve watched movies, i’ve read a lot. i know it feels like it’s not going to get better but i promise it will. is reminding yourself that everything passes, let all the emotions pass through you. it’s reminding yourself that -new and goods things are coming to you- though i know it’s really hard and painful to think abt yourself in a future where that person is no longer there. :-(
i understand how painful time passes, how painful it is to think about that person and all the attached memories, but it’s time to think about all the new memories YOU are going to create, that life is painful but not that much, it’s time to cry it all, and to get things done. little by little, days pass and the pain will start to fade away, sometimes you’ll be alright, sometimes you won’t, but is all part of the process.
i’m sorry you are experiencing that horrible thing called heartbreak, i hug u wherever you are. 🫂
