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?

Move on, find new interests. Do things without them. Some times this brings memories back, it also creates new ones

@Justafantasy What if its more than one person? What if it is just about everyone in your life, and you're stuck, because it doesn't make sense anymore.

@rawandauthentic it's never going to make sense. One foot in front of the other. Don't look back(I know you will, I still am) forward is the only direction on life and it's hard sometimes

@Justafantasy My favorite thing to say these days. One foot in front of the other. My Achilles heal is constantly looking back and wondering what if? The what if messes with your head.

@rawandauthentic the what-if should be what-if next time I do or don't act the same what will happen.

It's unfair to others to judge them based on people from your past. It's unfair to you not to.

Everything that has happened to us today makes us who we are tomorrow.

I treat people more cautiously, I know the things I don't want. I've watched a bunch of relationship videos and found some very relatable. "Men have reached a point due to past experiences of knowing exactly what they won't accept in a relationship". I'm guessing it applies to everyone
