Breakup Advice
After those amazing relationships end, you have to ask yourself how things will continue. If you broke up with your partner, you must either be unhappy with them, mad at them, tired of them, or some other circumstance. So, if it is you who breaks up with the other, stop and think. As one single person, you don't have any idea what the other might go through. One moment to you is completely different that that of another. For example, you might go on a date and have the time of your life, oblivious to that fact that the one you care for is about to slit their wrists in boredom.
Just and example.
But that is something that you can relate to a breakup. You might think that things are better off without the other. They might be tripping and falling behind you, trying to catch up and get you back. It happens a lot, and these breakups are the worst. I myself went through one. And I've scraped my knees so much over these past to years tripping and falling after her(yes, two years. She's so beautiful I can't stop thinking about her). I've found out the the first and most important thing you can do to stay out of those horrible, bad break ups, is to forget. Easier said then done, right? Well, there is only one way to completely get over such a thing. Overwrite the memories that the two of you shared. Now, people call this a rebound, but isn't every boyfriend/girlfriend after the first a rebound? You must make better memories with this person. Have a greater time, and think about the new things you share rather then all the things you used to share with the other. Take it from me, with time, almost everything is mendable.

I agree completely with cyanidesun. I have had some experience in relationships with this. Burying memories does nothing but bring the memories back in a flood thats very hard to fight off. After heartbreak i try to heal and be happy with myself, because i feel its not fair to the other people i could be in relationships with, since i can't give them my whole heart.
And maybe you cant find someone who knows exactly how you feel all the time like in literature, but love can happen in many ways on many levels of depth
High school relationships suck. But high school relationships will always suck from the time I am fifteen to the time I am eighteen, I am not the first to make this statement you have to understand that we are what we are. But because I’m in high school you must realize that it’s all I have for now and a girl’s gotta have some fun sometimes, so I set my mind to the fact that hurting will be routine and to get over my melodramatic blubbering mess of a self. The first three days of my very first break up ever I spent crying and crying and I froze spoons in the fridge to make the swelling go down so my mom wouldn’t notice. But then I hoped she wouldn’t notice the spoons. I cried in his arms for a total of three hours, he cried once and not for very long and I hate to admit that it made me stop and I almost smiled. I’m sure this may be one of the meanest things I’ve ever done, the fact that I was happy for his stress and hurt. That’s high school, sick love, stress, and hurt.
He couldn’t have been happy when I cried, he wiped my tears and told me he hated to see my like this. I am a terrible person. I tried to punch him in the stomach at first but he looked at me as if I’d hurt his feelings and it was so strange and all my weak little self could do was fall into his shoulder and stain his shirt with tears. It’s hard to be friends, it’s impossible to be friends but not because I hate him. No way, hating him is unimaginable, it’s useless, impervious, please lets stop talking about it. What I want to know is how do two people that loved each other and spent a lot of time wishing they were together for almost an entire eight months, then spending everyday together for an entire summer just suddenly become friends even when they still want to go on loving each other?
This is the boy I almost gave everything to because I wanted to be his everything. And it’s the stupidest sounding thing in the world, I know, and I didn’t think people our age were even capable of loving each other but they are. It’s just there, it’s right in front of us so how can we not embrace it in a way that will make us dizzy with laughter. It’s that simple isn’t it? Other wise why on earth would his favorite dress be stained with the stupid tears he made me cry? That’s why I kiss him on the cheek but I kind of miss and get the edge of his lips and our friends are standing next to us, shoulder to shoulder, back to back waiting for a concert, is this weird? I can feel their eyes on me in hidden shock and I wonder what they think. Actually they’re probably not shocked, they think the whole thing is stupid and that we’ll perhaps get back together.
I just hope he somehow knows that I’m still in love with him, I want to whisper it to him but I don’t and I regret it for the second time. Only I know he’s still in love with me too because later he grasps my waste and I think I’m confused, am i? No, because it never felt like we ended, I hardly notice his arm, later I think I imagined it, I wish I had counted the number of seconds his warm arm was there because I don’t even recall when or how he pulled it away. And then when the concert ends he wants to hang out but confusion is so far beyond what I’m feeling. We’re not getting back together, it sucks, of course. But I kissed him and he held my waist like he used to. I go home and decide, this is the way it is and I smile. I don’t cry, why don’t I cry? I don’t know, it’s weird, someone needs to tell me why I’m not crying for God’s sake! But then I know why, it’s because neither of us know what in the hell we’re doing and this is the most complicated thing in the world, only in an easy second I’ll let myself find a way to make it simple, to find a pleasure in hurting. Like kissing his cheek the way friends do. Wait, friends don’t do that in America. We’re just two heart broken teenagers in sick love who have no idea what they’re doing. Damn, love is so stupid, why didn’t anyone ever tell me this?
i loved t his one its amazing heres a story/poem i wrote that i would like sharing
Words left unsaid
Words left unsaid are words waiting to be silently heard
Although I always wanted to find the right words to speak to him
I realized its okay for things to just take their course
And if he was willing to talk to me don’t worry I won’t ignore you
But you know I have a lot of thoughts, feelings, and emotions
That I have to deal with too
And i have been thinking if
I could form the right sentences
To tell you what I am feeling
However no words come close
to what I'm describing
I just want you to understand me
And all I have to offer
Sometimes I find myself
Loosing track of time
Waiting to know that words unsaid
Are words crying out
Silently waiting to be heard
i'm sorry but i'd just like to comment that spending time to completely type out words saves other people a lot of time. thank you. But yes, i know. It's only an option that works for some people. Even exceptions have exceptions
okay!
good luck!
