I'm going through a breakup right now, and I'll be honest, it sucks.
But breakups always suck, right?
Like, I've never been through an easy breakup.
Even when I think back to my most inconsequential relationship,
it was three or four months long and we didn't love each other, even that breakup sucked.
But I will say this particular breakup was better in some ways
because even though this was not an inconsequential relationship,
this was an incredibly serious relationship that was two years long,
we really deeply loved each other.
The way it ended was so pleasant that I think that's why I'm able to talk about it without crying right now.
You know, it's only been a week and I can talk about it, but it's because it was mutual.
We communicated and got closure and we've decided to remain friends.
It was as perfect as a breakup could possibly be, but it's still tough.
But what does this mean for me?
Well, now I'm single.
And being single for me is interesting because I haven't been single much in my life.
Since I was 17, I've been dating pretty consistently.
I've had quite a few boyfriends,
but I've had very short breaks in between, meaning I haven't really been single.
And so it's a little bit daunting to be in this place now where I'm single again.
