Who wrote the book on goodbyes? Because there’s never been a way to make it easy. A broken heart can make you suffer a kind of pain you’ve never felt before, and it can cause your soul to be completely speechless hanging in a pause. It can feel like it’s has been ripped out and stamped on a thousand times, and you’re left picking up the pieces and trying to put yourself back together again. It may feel like that process takes forever, because every time you think you’ve put a piece back in the right place, it doesn’t feel like it, and you have to start over. If that’s how you’re feeling at this moment, then I can honestly say, this pain does not last forever. You will pick up every last broken piece, and you will find the place where it fits.
As your heart heals, so does your soul. And as all the feelings and emotions are pouring out of you, let them. Just let them pour. There’s nothing you can do to stop it, even the clouds rain when they feel heavy. And when the world starts to look less grey, and all the colours start to return, you will feel yourself starting to let go of some feelings. Moving on doesnt mean you forget about things, it just means you have to accept what happened and continue living. Because what is life if isn’t worth living?
Finding love again can be a scary thought. It can be nerve wracking and exciting all at once. But love is too beautiful to keep hidden in a closet, so let it shine as bright as the day is new. Bask in the new light it brings and let it fill you with the warmth you’ve been missing for all that time. If you feel it, don’t let it burn out. Allow them to become the person your eyes will look for in a sea of people. The person you cant stop thinking about when you’re surrounded by people who aren’t them. Fall in love with someone who’s comfortable with your silence. Someone who doesn’t need your words to know it’s time to kiss you. Don’t shield yourself from loving them just because you’re scared of another heartache, because a person who truly values you would never put themselves in a position to lose you. Two souls don’t find each other by simple accident.
So go, get lost in beautiful places and let yourself feel love again, because love too has to be learned. Let someone help grow flowers even in the saddest parts of you, because however small and fragile the might be, they still bring life. Whoever said the small things dont matter has never seen a match start a wildfire
