It's a hard life to live so live it well, I'll be your friend and notin pretend...


“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” ― Dr. Seuss


Break-ups are hard, there is no denying that. Whether you were the break-upper or the break-upee, whether it was your choice or the result of wrong doing by either party, it's still a hard thing to go through. There's no such thing as a good or bad break up. The reality is, they always suck.

Memories are a funny thing. They're completely permanent, they'll never cease to exist. They'll go into hiding, sure, but they will always exist in some dark corner of your mind. Then they have a way of surfacing in your mind when you least want them to. It's like your brain purposely trying to fuck with you. Like "Oh hey, you thought you were ok? Here, remember this?", and then I'm all like "ugh, thanks for nothing, stupid brain."

I find myself feeling very heavy-hearted and a bit nostalgic these last few days, as if I am having a very delayed reaction to my break-up. Worse than that, I find myself getting teary-eyed at the most inopportune times, such as while I'm at work, or driving home in the rain. I can't control it, it's random spurts of sadness that just come over me out of no where. I suppose it is expected when you were with someone for so long. All my memories of my last year and a half include him, so the nostalgia and tears must certainly be inevitable.

Break-ups are weird. Super WEIRD! I can't seem to find a more fitting word for how I have been feeling. They say opposites attract, but I have found that they might only hold their attraction for a certain amount of time.

I'm sad that it's over, but I am also happy it happened. Life goes on. Time to see what the Universe has in store for me next. Life is short and nothing lasts forever. All I can do is put on my big girl panties and carry on.
