A Guide to Heartbreak by a Queer Minnesotan

As such, it is a first [*] of its kind.

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.”

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.
