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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
