Ever wonder why the word Broken is never a word that describes the end of something? Well taking a page out of my own book I'm saying, we, as humans we are taught that when it breaks we can always fix it. Remember how your favourite toy would break in some poor mishap and you would ball your eyes out,and your mom or dad would somehow have a makeshift repair done? Now that the sort of thing that parents teach us without saying words, the teach us to mend things and never use broken as a word of finality, but what they fail to tell you is that that the makeshift repair alters the toy its self. Though we might play with is for a little while longer, we soon lose interest and find a new best toy...
Is this not part of growing? Learning and moving forward? Do we ever stop learning or growing? I don’t think so, we just try to slow the process down with years by lying to ourselves
Its like good emotions? We all as adults have them, but we seldom control it, we don’t know how, yet we penalise ourselves when we know we feel the wrong emotions... WTF, when did we lose the lesson of broken? If its broken, its damaged, no matter how much you try and repair it, the crack still shows. Its a constant reminder of how it broke, why it broke and how defeated you are. Its time to make hard choices at this point
I say, personally that is, in life, love and personal growth, we all need to break things, we will all come across feeling broken, its a cycle that repeats itself if you don’t have the balls to break the cycle. Love , life and growth should not break you, you may shed ,and come out with a new shinny exterior but you should never be broken by it. Funny thing is, if you are broken by it, the crack shows, and its a constant reminder that while you believed in forever and worked for it, the earth shattered beneath your feet. How does one recover from that?
So what do you do when Love or Life breaks you?
I would suggest
1. Forgive yourself, life is too short.
2. Move past it knowing that you dug deep but found yourself alone.
3. The crack that shows in your heart, remember you never cracked it but you will heal it completely alone or with the help of someone brave enough to see past the crack.
4. Love again, and don’t hold back, give all you have, its what you meant to do, whether you get hurt again or not, you can’t love harbouring ill feelings or thoughts of hate and hurt.
5. Accept the fact that you are different now, and make peace with it.
Just remember, if you always remain true to yourself and your main vein runs true, you will have some solace through the pain and hurt you feel. Try not to lie to yourself, because as time passes it builds to a point where you explode.
