My heart is broken. I just don't know how to do this anymore. I love him so much but I just can't. I would do anything to close my eyes and open them back up a year from now.

I'm so lonely

“There it goes again. That heavy feeling in your chest when you don’t feel any desire to speak or move. All you want to do is close your eyes and sleep, because the process of being broken is incredibly exhausting. You attempt your best to make your days fulfilling, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to connect to anyone or anything.”

And you are going? You are going?…No, you are not going: I am keeping you…You leave your soul, like a coat, in my hands.

– Marguerite Yourcenar, from “Mary Magdalene, or Salvation,” Fires (FSG, 1981)

“Sometimes, there was no getting over it. Sometimes, you lived with the empty place inside of you until you imploded on it, loss as singularity, or until the empty place expanded and hollowed out the rest of you so thoroughly you became the walking dead, a ghost in your own life.”

— Caitlin Kittredge, Bone Gods

He's teaching me to sit with my discomfort.

To not react with every emotional shift.

To listen, steady, and absorb.

To wait patiently.

To stay silent.

To just be.

Quiet.

I've been making huge strides to get over you this past year, so if you and your gf could politely fuck off? K, thanks.

That awkward moment when...

Your girlfriend follows me, likes 3 of my posts, then you unfollow me, then she unfollows me. Wtf, dude?
