"Life is never easy for those who dream."

Modern heartbreak is grieving the loss of someone who is still alive.

Modern heartbreak exists within the breaths between seconds. Between minutes. Between hours, between the time it takes for them to finally respond to your messages. It is noticing that they were all over social media while you sat around and waited for them to acknowledge you. Because that is what modern heartbreak is. You can’t get away from it, even if you try.

Modern heartbreak is quiet, and yet so loud. It is the little things that hang like weights in your ribcage. It is the moment you finally gain the courage to unfriend them. It is wanting to tag them in posts you would have laughed at in the past. It is noticing that they don’t hold you in bed anymore, it is noticing that they don’t put down their phone when you’re together anymore. They are somewhere else. You can feel the separation. Modern heartbreak doesn’t just belong to you. It is no longer something you can hide away within yourself. Modern heartbreak is being asked why you deleted all the photos of your significant other. It’s being messaged when your relationship status changes. Modern heartbreak is having to explain, and explain, and explain, because everyone sees it. Everyone sees it.

But at the end of the day, the hardest thing about modern heartbreak is having to convince yourself that being left is not a reflection of you as a person. The hardest part of modern heartbreak is the doubt it causes, the comparison, the jealousy. It is the worry that comes with knowing that we live in a generation that is oversaturated with options, that people seem to leave for the next best thing. You see it happen all the time, and it breaks you. It makes you think about all of the ways you could have been better. It makes you think about all of the ways you could have been more. And that is why modern heartbreak is so difficult, that is why it stings so much. Long after they are gone, long after you have moved on, you still wonder. You will always wonder.

One time in college, I had a fight with my boyfriend and was sitting outside crying, and a drunk girl came over and gave me a leaf to make me feel better.

amazing

Put it on airplane mode so none of those calls come through

Here’s a word to my ladies, don’t you give these niggas none

If they can’t make you richer, they can’t make you cum

‘it will be too girly’

‘they’re only pandering to women, it won’t be successful’
