I’ve been there do you want to talk about it?

That is really hard. Just take sometime for yourself and keep talking on here. It really helps. I promise.

Man oh man have I felt the same. As someone who wears their heart on their sleeve, I have been there multiple times and had to get myself back up.

After 1 girl kinda got tired of me, I actually got a tattoo I always wanted. It got my mind off of it. I’m not saying go and get something permanent on your skin, but go ahead and do things that get your mind off of them. Another break up it really helped me to be around a friend and play video games. Then end up playing video games alone.... then another break up or rejection, I ended up joining the gym.

After a while of sadness and depression, even feeling suicidal at time, feeling worthless... I realized that life goes on. I really walked with a chip on my shoulder and kind of got a cocky attitude almost. I was hurt! But I came to realize that I needed to love myself. I needed self confidence and when that came everything fell into place. Day after day after day, little by little, you just start feeling better. It gets to the point where you’re comfortable being alone at times and in time the sadness and pain goes away.

Just allow growth within yourself. Work on self-confidence and do it with love. Everything you do, do it with love. Accept who you are but KNOW that this isn’t the best you! You will come back better. Never change a kind heart. Like I said, I wore my heart on my sleeve and I despised it over time... then I learned to embrace it. I wondered why I always fell so hard for someone. Then I learned to embrace it. It’s me, it’s who I am. I eventually learned how to manage my feelings better, but again that came in time.

Just remember to accept growth! Pain is temporary. As hard as it it to see at times, just remember to love who you are and grow during this hard time and try to get your mind off of the situation. It gets better I promise.

Message me if you ever need to vent or talk!! That goes for anybody!

I think most people have had their hearts broken at least once. Not everyone, but most. It hurts so much that the last time I thought, what was I thinking to put myself at such risk? Why didn't I protect myself instead of being vulnerable to another person? I felt broken and that my heart was literally twisting.

Do you mind if I ask how old you are? Is your ex around in your life still (at school, work, with mutual friends, etc. so that you still see her). The reason I ask is that my daughter went through a truly awful breakup - her high school boyfriend slept with her best friend - and in desperation to cheer her up, I devised a 5 pt. plan to get her back on her feet. It was silly and crazy, but it worked. We'd laugh that she was ready to move on to level 3 and so on.

I would love to meet the right person still. I hope I'll always put my heart out there, but maybe in a more careful way. I tend to overlook red flags. We can learn from our heartbreaks and trust our gut feelings. Wanting love is not worth heartbreak later. I've vowed to only love people who deserve my love, to be cautious of physical attraction, and to love myself first. I hope I fall in love again and that you do too, without the heartbreak and with the right person. (If you want to know that 5-pt. plan, I'll see it I can remember it. It was for a high school girl, mind you, but it could probably be adapted).

Wishing you love and light and all things good, my friend. P.S. If you want to see a lot of broken hearts, watch the junk reality TV show "Bachelor in Paradise." My guilty pleasure!
