Breakups & Heartbreak
I tried a few times to try to preface this somehow, but it's just not sounding right to me, so we'll skip it and I'll clarify one-on-one if necessary.
Breakups are inevitable sometimes. I don't like the way people handle them lately, though. Always finding some special close friend they can trust to help them through all of it - and, of course, whom are invariably either overtly or covertly trying to replace the previous partner - and usually throwing in a good amount of physical gratification, emotional projection, and so on. And then, of course, after the healing's proceeded far enough, that person gets closer and closer, the two fall for each-other, and the cycle begins anew.
It's just complete and utter bullshit.
What's to be done when you don't have that friend to naively dump your burden onto? It's the cheap way to do things. Better to just hold on tight and brave the pain. Better to embrace the suffering, the loneliness, the worry and fear of change, the uncertainty, all of it. Yes, it'll hurt - it's heartbreak, that's how it works. How it's supposed to work. You cry, you ache, then you move on. That's what strength is - not trying to sidestep the bullet that rightfully bears your name.
