I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced the death of our ultimate emotion, love. But I have and maybe more than I would like to. Sometimes with the same person multiple times, other times with someone new. Though I may not have been in love with them, I still felt the dread when we were no more. It was the idea of what could be, what I desired that mostly got to me.

I wouldn’t wish it, a broken heart, on anyone. Simply because if you don’t know how to overcome it- if you don’t know how to let the moment be, it can destroy you.

It can lead to an awful bitterness, plague you with sleepless nights, push you toward depression and even worse- it can cause you to do terrible, unspeakable things.

But there is also a beauty about a broken heart that should be embraced. It can force you to face your deepest fears such as loneliness, rejection and abandonment.

I want to encourage you in this time to take a moment and simply look back at the last few times you’ve had your heart broken and be honest with yourself. What was it that hurt you?

Get a pen and pad and write it down. Now, how did you make it through? Think on those things because they’re definitely going to help you get through it this time and often, if you listen closely, you’ll hear God tell you he’s prepared you for a moment such as this. He’s taught you how to recover and keep pushing.

One thing is for sure, time heals all wounds and mends the broken heart. You are deserving of love and one day someone is going to look at you like you are the greatest thing on earth. Stay encouraged. Do what makes you happy, date yourself and love on yourself. It’s ok not to be ok, but don’t revel in it. Have your moment and move on. ❤️
