When Your Heart Shatters

When your heart shatters, and it seems like you can't go on, the cheesy songs say it will get better. I know that will happen, but by golly they don't say how hard it is.

I am going through the worst breakup I have ever gone through. This breakup is shattering me. I can't eat, everything that used to bring me joy just seems like a chore now. There are people around me trying to send me love but all I want to do is just crawl up in my bed and cry.

But all I want to do is crawl up in my bed and cry.

It is ironic that the last post on here from me was about my marvelous adventures. Those adventures I will hold dearly in my heart for the remainder of my life. It breaks my heart that the breakup had to happen, and I wish that it didn't need to.

I know this decision is the right one, but that doesn't make it easier. I am in pain. I go to bed every night exhausted from how hard just day-by-day life is right now. When I wake up, I forget for a second that we aren't together anymore, and when I remember, I feel like someone put a dagger right into my heart and turns it.

From my research, it is going to take a while for me to stop loving him, if that even happens. I am hopeful that one day I can breathe again. This is not my first rodeo when it comes to bad breakups, but this is definitely the hardest.

I try to listen to music, podcasts, call friends for advice, but literally nothing helps. Nothing.

Maybe I should pay attention to class now.

I'll be back next week.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
