how did you get over a broken heart? i recently met someone who is still dealing with the aftermath of a bad relationship and it inspired me to share this…

life is too good..too full of good people and happiness to let it slip by because you don’t trust anymore.

vanae’s tip of the dae: if you feel happiness with her/him, open yourself to the possibility of loving, trusting, and believing again.

Mending a broken heart can seem a task so monumental that we dare not attempt it for fear of damaging ourselves further.

Acknowledging heartbreak’s impermanence by no means dulls its sting for it is the sting itself that stimulates healing. The pain is letting us know that we need to pay attention to our emotional selves, to sit with our feelings and be in them fully before we can begin to heal. Time may dull the pain of a broken heart.

Most important, open yourself to the possibility of loving, trusting, and believing again. When, someday soon, you emerge from the cushion of your grief, you will see that the universe did not cease to be as you nursed your broken heart. You emerge on the other side of the mending, stronger for all you have experienced.
