"Heartbreak isn't beautiful. It isn't
fucking poetry, it's not staying up 'til
4 am listening to sad songs. It's
breaking down in the middle of a busy
street. It's seeing their face in all the
people you pass by. It's feeling okay
for weeks at a time and then all of a
sudden, you feel the ghost of their lips
on your neck and their nails on your
back and then you're choking on
memories of their presence. It's
waking up from dreams of them
coming back and screaming in the
middle of the night because your
chest aches like a rotting tooth. Stop
romanticizing pain. Stop using people
like their objects. A heart isn't a
cigarette - you can't just light it up
and then stomp it out when you're
done. Don't act like anything about
heartbreak is beautiful, because I
wouldn't wish that feeling upon
my worst of enemies."

— there's nothing pretty about bleeding
from the inside out (o.k.)
