The Anatomy of Heartbreak: Understanding the Emotional Turmoil of Romantic Breakups

By: Obanla Ridwan Olawale  Introduction Heartbreak is an emotional experience that most people will go through at some point in their lives. It is a common human experience that can be triggered by the end of a romantic relationship, the loss of a loved one, or other major life changes. In this article, we will explore the anatomy of heartbreak, the emotional turmoil it causes, and how people can recover from it. The Science of Heartbreak Heartbreak is not just an emotional experience; it has a physical component as well. Research has shown that the same regions of the brain that are activated by physical pain are also activated by the emotional pain of heartbreak. This suggests that the emotional pain of heartbreak is experienced as a type of physical pain. In addition to the physical component, heartbreak also has a psychological component. People who experience heartbreak often report feelings of sadness, loneliness, and despair. They may also experience physical sym...

GOSPEL OF BEDRIDDEN LAND.

Blindfolded in shackles of poverty, Roaming homeless on street of hunger like a prodigal son Yet we claimed "Giant of Africa" Giant of Africa incarcerated in imperialism and ignorant. Sadness and agony accomplished our daily bread, we are happy to take it down with cholera water, our dwelling place is habitable for the pigs and our health decays like dead cadaver. Our right to education is a war, Strikes upon strike like a lazy bone, Our pedagogs are pinned to poverty, they work from hands to mouths, How can home of seven, feed without hypertension? When tune of election sounds, Our leaders we say, "we are the way, the truth and the light, for no citizens shall have good life accept by voting us". Friends of common men ride on our wounds, And made our rights seems like gift from government. On the scale of impartiality, justice died but his grave is known to no one till date! He left common men to battle with robust parasites. They become the...

WITHIN

The pain I felt within me Is greater than the burn of hades, I felt broken,shattered and dismayed like a broken mirror, reflecting all pains of cosmos. Within me, there's battle of losing and winning, Hating and loving, Peace and war, Living and dying! Within me, I felt the end is nigh, I couldn't face myself, No motivation No inspiration to feed my dying soul! Night without tears Never comes to me, My pillows are soaked in tears. Pieces of me shattered everywhere, I gave my night to sadness; Insincere happiness to my daylight. Within me, stories I can't relate, Kills me slowly, I felt like I'm dying. Even at my dying thoughts, I heard a still voice, fueling and inspiring  my little strength, "Grind on" it says!

LONGWAY FROM HOME.

From the deep fountain of my heart, Flows honorable words of consolation, To my beloved family, Who built their trust in my me. Longway from home  Like a Prodigal son,  Fighting in desert Like a viking,  Defending the honour  and dignity of my country. Longway from home, Fighting my brothers  from another uterus, That were convinced by old fools, Using us like a gambol in their bars  We shed our bloods and sweat, And destroyed our souls and future. Longway from home,  I left my darling wife  With the hope of "my  Man is coming 'someday' !" But here am I dying like a fly in face of fiery fire. I met died like a worm on battlefield, But above all, I know my death save a soul, My body might be shattered and pierced by bullet, I know I have protected life of millions, Come rain, come sun, I keep fighting for peace.

BEAUTY OF TOLULOPE

  Like a rose in garden of peace, Growing with beauty red and ease, You are beautiful and calm, Graciously endowed with kind words. With you, happiness is sweeter than wine Within you, paragon of kindness grows like vine  Within you, I found a soul from divine  Whose intentions are pure and it's shines Itunuoluwa, you are unique and awesome, Your presence drives cumbersome thoughts away like light drives darkness. So long I live, I will always cherish you! So long I live, I will love you ❣️

OUT OF MY HEAD

Dreadful images stealing my nights, Bugging my soul and spirit, My thoughts are no longer safe, My intentions are baked in hade. The sun in my day turns blood, And stars milk away like dust, Darkness becomes flood And it flooded my truthful path. I thought I'm manic, Cause I'm acting like psychopath, Medicine and words aren't messianic, I'm dying in the warpath Of dreadful imagination and insomnia. Alcohol became horrible knight, it's not a savior to my plights! My dreams are turning to nightmares, What shall save me from the ensnarers? I just need to pull it out of my head, And purified my soul and spirit From imaginations of regressions  Pulling down my soul from the progress.
