Easier said than done!

How do you get over a broken heart? Not everyone believes a heart can actually break but I beg to differ. I feel actual physical pain as well as the knots in my stomach. The heavy feeling in my chest. The constant ache. The anxiety when memories can't be forgotten. The feeling of betrayal when you have invested so much time into someone, only to have them not treat you the way treated them. Not have the same level of loyalty given back to you. Why do people hurt people? Is there any justifiable reason to break someone's heart? Time does heal some stuff, but the scab always remains. Any little thing can pick that scab off and bring everything to the surface again. You don't ever really heal, you just continue and try and mask it, until the next betrayal happens and it resurfaces. So yeh just wondering can a broken heart ever mend?

The best is to grow through it and not wait for it to “heal.” Although time definitely helps the pain subside

@Mmiker Growing is one of the toughest things to have to do, and yes growing is a default for me, but the pain makes the lesson a little bit harder to bear. Time can be cruel or kind, and essentially the here and now doesn't last forever. Isn't life just a big clock ticking away until it just doesn't anymore?

@rawandauthentic yes. But so worth it if you have a bigger purpose. Without the biggest purpose then the focus’s becomes the more. The more is painful. This life becomes dreadful

@Mmiker Yes, it does become dreadful. And how do you pull yourself out of dreadful? How do you even find a purpose or do people just fall into their purpose? Or do they fake it until they make it?
