Romance Misfortunes
Soft launches, hard lessons. These misfortunes explore desire, denial, and why “read receipts” should come with a trigger warning.
Sample misfortunes
- An old version of you is haunting someone's memory—and they like it better.
- Someone admired you once. It was brief.
- Someone has muted your existence.
- Someone you love is exhausted by you.
- The feeling is not mutual.
- They were right to leave.
- You are more tolerated than welcomed.
- Your apology will go to voicemail.
- You’ll be replaced by someone who smiles more.
- Your ex still thinks about you—whenever Netflix asks, “Continue watching?”
- The sparks you felt were just red flags on fire.
- At least heartbreak pairs nicely with ice cream and poor decisions.
