@thematthewhussey: Breakups are hard. Really hard. Especially if you didn’t do the breaking up. You’re left with questions about your own self-worth. You punish yourself for your deficiencies. You retrace the steps of the relationship like a detective on a mission to find out where you screwed up. You wonder if (and even hope that) they’re in as much pain as you are. Some deep part of you fantasizes that their pain will lead to regret, and that their regret will reach a crescendo. And then, just like that, you’ll receive that 11 p.m. call, begging for your return. You know, the one where you get to tell them “go fuck yourself”? Or at least have the option to. Not only does this not happen, but you wake up one day to “the news.” Delivered to you by a friend, or just as likely, by some shameless algorithm on instagram that they’ve found someone else. They’ve moved on. You have neither the satisfaction of their groveling return nor the rush of knowing someone better is already in your midst. They beat you to it. It’s like going broke with someone because of a decision they made, not you, and then finding out that two weeks later they won $1 million in the lottery. You don’t even get the reassurance of knowing that at least they’re broke now too. Cue slipping into a sinking, woozy, heart-stabbing fever dream that begins not once you fall asleep, but every morning when you wake up. And so we meet Roy, the subject of our video today. Now you know Roy’s story. What can he do to wake from this fever dream? Let’s find out. Tag someone who needs to see this video.
