Are you usually the heart break-er or the heart break-ee?

I've been thinking.. I don't think I've ever broken anyone's heart. I'm way too loyal for that. But my heart has been broken plenty of times. And, within that same train of thought, I'm not sure the heart ever fully recovers. Just tiny scars left, memories, questions and pain.
And the over whelming urge to punch someone in the face...

I wrote a short story on love once... it is crazy to think about how we feel in depths of a break up, the pain we feel when we feel we lost our love. The cloud that hangs over our head and the storm that never goes away. I think we do heal though... the clouds part and we grow from it... we are guarded, but that doesn't mean we are damaged. Through these experiences we learn what we want and don't want out of a relationship, sure there are questions bout the past, but these questions are developed because we weren't sure about the relationship... when you know, there are no questions to be asked.

The problem here is that there is no real closure..

We call them exes for a reason, if it worked they wouldn't be exes... for every question you have, there are plenty of answers if you reflect on the relationship. Everything can't have an end... somethings are just better off being left open ended... I understand your frustrations with this, as it is human nature to want closure on everything... but these questions are what allows us to look for flags in future relationships... it allows us to grow, don't look at it as needing closure, look at as an opportunity to avoid these situations in the future.
