” When you’re dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part.”
— John Mayer, Dreaming with a Broken Heart
I still remember that time when you looked at me, with that sparkle in your eyes an the amusing aura, your one charming sly smirky smile that you passed to me was enough for me to convince myself that you, my darling, you are the one I have fallen for. A month into being more than friends but still not enough I realized you are my something complicated. We were never meant to be and never will be because the slightest hint of seriousness would make you pack your bags and run far far away!
I learnt that love isn’t easy, love isn’t simple, love isn’t always being loved back and I learnt it the hard way. Months of sleepless nights, binge eating, emotional isolation, being a walking dead zombie and +10 KGs later I finally acknowledged the fact that I was indeed heartbroken. I was halfway healed as soon as I accepted it. Acceptance is th key. Here are few reasons why it is okay to be heartbroken :
1. You Will be Thankful
There will be a time when you will look back and be thankful that certain people, opportunities and things were removed from your life because you would have never found yourself had you not lost them. Sometimes, we get so caught up worrying about what we lost, rather than realizing what we are gaining in its absence.
2. It Is A Wake-Up Call
You know when you are so dead in your sleep, that not even a thunderstorm can wake you? Sometimes it takes somebody to physically shake you in order to wake you up.Well, meet heartbreak, your personal shaker-upper. Now, your eyes are open. You are aware of your surroundings. So take a good look around the room because it might be time to do some rearranging
3. Many Things Are Seasonal
Even if the love did not last, it prepared you for the one that will. The truth is, you WILL be sad to see your ex go, but you will be happy you finally get to move on.The rejections in your life make room for more opportunities. The person who turned you down is only propelling you toward the person who will snatch you up!
4. It Will Make You Brave
One of the most daring things you can do is to let go of what is hurting you. Sometimes in life, we have to surrender and simply accept that the past is behind us. Stop asking how the pain will end; instead, focus on what it taught you. Reevaluate what is truly important to you and move on. Let your past make you better, not bitter. Will it be easy? Hell no, but it will be so worth it.
5. You Loved
We all know the saying, “It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.” Sounds cliché, but to me, it holds true. Loving is always a risk, but it is an even bigger risk not to love. Even though I came out hurt, I grew and I learned. I love a little differently each and every time. Each love is a new love and a learning experience.
Now I am not saying that go get your heartbroken, no. But even if you ever do get heartbroken, it is okay! It is more than okay to be heartbroken. Like every other storm this too will pass with the promise of a brighter weather.
