Broken Heart

Do you ever really get over a broken heart?

I was watching a show on Youtube. In one episode a 🚺 started dating a 👦. They appeared to really be into each other. However, after a while he changed things up. He told her that he was going out of town to see a friend, which ended up being his ex-girlfriend. During the time that he was out of town; the 🚺 called him, but he never answered. When he came back, he told her why really went out of town and that he was still in live with his ex. The 🚺 was hurt, but really had no reaction because she had been through a broken heart before.

This got me to thinking about my own life and wondering if we ever really get over a broken ❤. I don't think you can ever really get over a broken ❤ without closure. I think you move on from having your heart broken because you have to, but having closure to the situation helps you heal.

Realizing that someone doesn't actually want to be with you hurts. That is a pain that you don't ever want to feel too often. It makes you not want to open your ❤ to anyone. I've experienced this twice in my life.

The first time, I did not think that I would ever get over it. There was no closure to the situation because I had not contact with the person. I knew that I had to do something to get over being rejected. So, I wrote a letter explaining how I felt to the person. I never mailed it, but it eased the pain and eventually made me feel better.

The 2nd time, I knew exactly what to do. I actually got closure. I wrote another letter and gave it to this person. Why did I write the 2nd letter? It allowed me to let the person know how I felt without crying or forgetting.

Although, I felt better then, it is hard to put myself out there like that again. I'm sure there will come that time when I will have the courage to open my ❤ again. When that time comes, I will know what to do.
