A Message to the Broken Hearted

You know what you need to do? You need to take things one day at a time. Do not worry about your future with this person, even if the only thing you may want to is get back together with them. Forget it! Use this time to work on you and let things unfold as they will! There is no way to know where you are going to end up, so why waste time in the present worrying about it? Take comfort in the fact that things are out of your control and and try your hardest to look to the future with a feeling of excitement, not fear.

Here’s another thing that would be good for you: talk to someone! I know you feel like your pain is unique and that no one else can possibly know how terrible this feels, but there you would be making a fatal mistake. Everyone, at some point or another, has felt pain like this because they lost something they loved, and chances are they made it out with only a scar or two and they were a better, more complete person after the pain had passed. Always remember, even in the darkest of times, that you are not alone. There are many people who have been exactly where you are and will gladly help you get through it if you can muster up the courage to say “I am not okay and I need someone right now.”

Lastly, I know it is easy to feel deflated and unwanted at a time like this. Always keep in mind that you are a good person, and you have a lot to offer. You gave it your best shot and it may not have been enough for this particular person, but someday, your best will be more than enough for someone. Do not let this pain stop you from looking for the next great love, either. We are all afraid of getting hurt, but if no one ever took any risks because they were afraid it might end bad, no one would be happy with their lives. Have confidence in yourself and what you bring to table. Your knight in shining armor or damsel in distress is waiting out there, ready for you to sweep them off their feet, but you’re never going to find them if you don’t put yourself out there first! Greet the day with enthusiam, you are alive and well and your moment to shine is coming soon, I promise.
