breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Best Ways to Get Over a Breakup and Move On. Top Story - August 2018.
Everyone reacts differently to heartache and rejection, but some responses are healthier and more effective than others. And many responses to grief, though they might feel good in the moment, can make the healing process longer and more difficult.

A Favorite Sweater
I found my favorite and most treasured sweater in a flea market in Florence. It began as the typical hunt for the "perfect" article of clothing—the fit, the look, material: everything. It was hanging up in one of the nicer stands, alone and high enough for me to see it from afar. Rushing over there, I asked the man to get it down for me. In the attempts to look casual and indifferent I asked the price. 30 euro. Scoffing with an eye-roll, I made a feeble effort to barter it down; all the while in my head I knew full well I would pay whatever price for this long-sought sweater. I'm going to make the safe assumption that the vendor saw straight through my pretend indifference. Needless to say, I paid the 30 euros and have never once regretted it.

It Will Be Effortless and Beautiful
Once upon a time, more like five months to be exact, I fell for an undercover fuck boy. What’s an undercover fuck boy, you may ask? Well, according to Urban Dictionary, it’s a guy who is a piece of shit but puts on an act of being a decent person to get into your pants. It’s a pretty accurate definition, and I honestly couldn’t have said it any better myself. So mad props to Urban Dictionary.

Leave Me Alone!
When I first met you, I thought you were the best thing to ever happen to me, but I realised I shouldn't have put so much trust into you. The first five months of our relationship were amazing, and you made me feel so special. I just don't get what changed. I don’t get why you changed.

A Talk About Broken Promises
Most if not all of you have been through breakups. Anyone who has been through a breakup knows they hurt like hell, especially if you were the one who was being broken up with. However, I have found that, in my experience, the thing that hurts more (especially in the case of serious relationships/ long-term relationships) is the broken promises that come with the breakup. He swore he was never going to leave? He turned around and left you. She said she would never love anyone but you? Look at her, loving someone else!
