*An Open Letter to the Broken Hearts*


Hey there,
You saw her with the other boy today. Does it
hurt seeing someone else in your place? Does it
hurt knowing you don't mean anything anymore?
Does it hurt to see him smile like the way she did
only with you?
I know it does, my dear. But, let me tell you one
thing. It shouldn't.
I know it's easier said than done and only you
know how it kills you from the inside. That
pinching feeling in your heart instead of the
strings of your heart that she tugged at hurts
more than anything else.
Sit back and think. Would you want to go back
even when she loves someone else? Would you be
able to love her when she doesn't?
Did you say yes?
I know it's not easy to move on and it's perfectly
fine to be stuck at something. But, we can at
least give it a try, can't we? Let's take on this
with baby steps.
Stop hating yourself. It's not because of you that
things didn't work out. You are not at fault at all.
Nor is she. Let go of the helpless anger and
disgust.
Do things that make you happy. Go out and make
friends. Go crazy with things where your passion
lies. Discover ways to smile and love yourself.
And the day you start loving yourself, you'll look
back and smile at these days, for you would have
moved on by then.
It's difficult, but we are in this together. Let's
know ourselves and fall in love with ourselves.
Smile, because you can.
Love,
A fellow broken heart.
