Well YES !! Just posted my own breakup essay and I feel you on so much of this. I remember thinking my heartbreak must have been particularly bad, because there was no way people would ever fall in love again after experiencing the pain I was in. Turns out, you don’t forget and yet you keep looking…

Very distinct memory of last year: at a lesbian bar alone at 3am, chatting with a group of gay men at the bar, when they asked me if I was brokenhearted. I was a month post the first ever breakup of my life and thought I was doing a terrific job of hiding it, because I felt like I needed to hide it. I said yes anyway. Then they tried to set up with a girl the exact opposition of my type lol.
