When your heart is broken, do you heal yourself and not let anyone else in? Or do you leave it out there in the open, exposed and vulnerable?

Someone famous said this. I think this famous person was Tumbleweed or maybe not. But you know know the secret to them words below.

A girl doesn’t need anyone who doesn’t need her.

Here is what I do after a broken heart. I shut my heart down. I distance myself from people and don't allow myself to get close to someone for like a 100 years. Then someone comes along while your in the mall and just steals your heart away from just from a 3 minute talk.

Some people just come into our lives and change it profoundly. Our dull lives take on color and everything seems like a dream. Your dream is coming, I can feel it. I sensee happiness and joy of love coming in your near future.

Because if you shut down, you might miss that chance

Withdraw and let it heal itself. I don't leave it out there open and vulnerable. It's a deeply personal thing and a long process for me.
I only put it out there in bits and pieces to express for catharsis. I can't imagine splatting it out to strangers. It's too intense for one thing.

Well here's what I did in the past:

Drink alcohol
Gamble
Take risks with my safety and health
Self destruct
Implode
In that order 👏

Do not recommend

Here's my updated strategy:

Be heavily medicated
Don't feel emotions
Be a bot 👏

100% recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I retreat whenever I am going through something. I'd rather do it alone.

Healing and letting people in are kinda like simultaneous journeys on parallel roads. Heal a bit, let someone in a bit and so on……..

I’ve had to learn the hard way… that I can only lean on me during those times

Heal first and then let yourself trust and be vulnerable again.

Well I completely fall apart, forget how to function properly and almost get committed. Then I stay abstinent for 7 years, do all the things that make me happy and realise the peace I feel being single. Recently sacrificing that peace for being dicked 🤷🏼‍♀

I just keep it to myself.

I think it has to be a mixture of both to really move forward.

Just focus on the mundane and repetitive parts of life. Like a treadmill. It will get easier

thats when u stay to yourself and work 70 hours

time to take your meds,

Hide it away from most.

Every break is cemented shut but I’m still stupid enough to show the soft pieces. Hopefully, one day, the whole thing will be stone.
