Published in 2019, a guide to heartbreak: advice and tips on navigating through the initial painful phase of the end, or significant transition, of a relationship is by a non-binary trans person of Armenian descent, who uses the nom de plume: A Queer Minnesotan. As such, it is a first [*] of its kind.
The zine is filled with personal narrative, Armenian poetry, exercises to help process heartbreak, and artwork. To request a copy of the zine, please email queerminnesotan@gmail.com
the splitting leading to my current heartbreak happened yesterday. the first wave of emotion came when i was still with her. i don’t remember with certainty what led up to the fist strong wave – it may have been when i said, “i just wish you loved me more than you do.”
a guide to heartbreak by A Queer Minnesotan
the purpose of this guide is twofold: 1) to help you get through the initial intense pain of heartbreak; and 2) to help you learn and grow through that process […] and, i suppose if i’m being really honest, a third purpose of this zine is to help me move through my current heartbreak.
