I’m tired of girls trying to invalidate their own feelings during times of pain, especially to their friends. Your break up meant something. That friendship you lost was a hard blow. I understand why you feel tired this semester. Sometimes this “modern woman” stereotype is patriarchy’s last attempt; patriarchy disguised as feminism. You don’t have to be “wise beyond your years”; your pain and crying does not mean you are not intelligent. If you feel your friends demand justification for your pain and ordeals, they’re not friends. You’re strong but human. Remind yourself emotional space is part of liberation.
it really sucks when you love someone but they don’t love you back, not even enough to just ends things in person and not over text. i have dealt with heartbreak but this feels different. i would have done anything for him. ive never had someone break up with me so brutally and so insensitive before, I feel so worthless. i don’t understand why he told me he loved me if he decided to treat me like this and stomp on my heart as if I’m nothing to him. instead of trying to work on our problems or try hearing my side about stuff, he tossed me away like I’m trash. i dealt with so much from him and I didn’t mind but I guess when it came to me he did mind. actions speak louder than words, so at least I know that I gave it my absolute all and I had nothing but love and admiration for him. he really broke my heart but I still love him and probably will for a while.
