Heartbreak Recovery?
I have to start by saying that I think heartbreak is so brutal because it’s usually not just one “break”. If you think on a situation long enough, there are these little moments that brought you to this big moment and you find yourself having to unpack a lot more than just the original blow. Forgiveness isn’t easy and forgetting is almost impossible. So, where would that leave us? I’m not saying that a couple that has faced heartbreak couldn’t work out in the end with a healthy relationship, but I am saying that what I would even think scratches the surface of making that happen is a rare sighting done successfully. It’s hard growing with someone who will always know a certain version of you. I also believe that second chances come with guarded hearts and something healthy brewing from that is tough. Relationships aren’t easy and people make mistakes, but I always think to myself… If this is what you did the first time when you weren’t sure if I would stay, how will it be now that I did? Deciphering mistakes versus character flaws in a person is one of the hardest, most necessary abilities to work through because an “I’m sorry” is only as genuine as the person saying it. To sum this up lol, I want us all to be in a place where we feel we can grow, and sometimes it’s a hard pill to swallow that the person we love may be stunting that.
