My Favorite Heartache (ePub)

My Favorite Heartache is a collection of stories stitched into lines, prose, and excerpts that reveal the bittersweet reality of romanticizing heartbreak and longing for love and then losing it to unexpected circumstances.

This book is for the emotionally unavailable, the people who can't move past traumas brought about by people whose intention is to hurt you with the truth, and the ones who do nothing but romanticize heartbreaks.

This is a recount of losing the love we somehow failed to protect. The kind of love that got stuck in a time warp of emotional baggage.

There are people in our lives we need to outgrow at some point. Some have touched us. Some who have changed us. While most have left a deep scar in our hearts. Despite what happened we are still grateful for them. Yet on gloomy days when pain wakes us at 3 am from a deep slumber, we question ourselves,

What if I did not let go?

What if I turned a blind eye and just went with the flow?

Would I be happy? Would you still be here with me?

You know, it's okay to end things. It's okay if you are not each other's endgame. For what it's worth, we were thankful we didn't end up with them.

As long as there are people hurting. couples breaking, and hearts yearning to forgive but not yet ready to forget, your stories need to be heard. So as my hands will write no matter how many times your heart gets shaken and not pursued; healed and then destroyed again. This book is solely for you.

I guess this is how sad writers are being punished. We write not because we are unhappy. We write because someone has to write your story. Someone has to put those silent aches into paper and craft them into a book.

You are my favorite heartache. I still think of you in between memories
