Heartbreaks

 To My Friend Currently Going Through A Heartbreak: It's (un)funny how something that once felt so good now hurts so bad, right? Unfortunately, it's the nature of our world. We can't have one without the other; we need valleys to be able to recognise mountains; heartbreaks hurts so much because loving and being loved is the best feeling known to our specie. In the immortal words of The Vision ''What is grief, if not love persevering?'' Think back to the moments before now when everything seemed alright with the world, hold on to the memories you made back then; don't regret them; ''don't be sad it ended, be glad it happened''. 

Don't allow this bump in the road make you cynical and bitter, that's not who you are. Don't wallow in misery, take all the time you need to heal and get over this so that you don't take it out on your next partner. Don't hurt your future with your past.

Don't sweat it; you deserve a love that accepts all of you and doesn't require you to change who you are to earn it. We all do!

To My Friend Who Is Afraid Of Heartbreaks: Three things are inevitable in this life: Death, Taxes and Heartbreaks. The thing with heartbreaks is that they don't come from romantic relationships alone. Football, for example, has given me more heartbreaks than any number of woman could ever give me. Hearts have muscles, literally and metaphorically. The thing with muscles is that you have to train them in order to get the best use out of them, that's why most people exercise. You see, the more you train the muscles of your heart the higher the pressures it can withstand. 

Don't be afraid to dip your feet in the high waters of romantic love. I specified romantic love because I believe you already have other kinds of love in your life. It's the thing I love about Love; there are many different versions of it, and when the waters of romantic love, for example, sweeps you off your feet and threatens to drown you, you can always counts on your other Loves to come through for you with lifeboats, lifeguards, life jackets, and sometimes even pleasant waves you can ride into another romantic love. 

Be brave; you deserve a love that excites all your five senses. We all do!

To My First Heartbreak: Sorry to break it to you but; I won! you deserve some credit though, you were a tough one, you hurt more than a kick to the balls, if that kick was delivered by a giant Kung Fu Master, whose sole purpose in life was to master how to kick people in the balls, just so they can deliver that kick to me after being told I killed their pet. Yet, I got over your pain and fell in love again. Over and over again.

To My Next Heartbreak: Even at the risk of sounding like a Masochist, I have to say I can't wait to meet you. I hope you hurt more than the ones that came before you, because that would mean that, before your arrival, I had loved and been loved more than ever before. If you are the one that breaks..., no, you could never break me because once I heal from you, I'm falling right back in love. Even if I had just more day to live, I'm sure I will find a way.  I'm confident like that, because I can't think of anything better to do in this painfilled existence of ours.
