Healing a broken heart
A couple years ago, I found myself in one of the most meaningful relationships I had ever had. Everything seemed perfect. The only problem was that I was very wrapped up in the thought of, “Only he can make me happy and nothing else will.”
Then he broke up with me. I was alone in my room, crying on my bed, and asking myself, “What did I do wrong?” And, “Why couldn’t we work it out?”
The thought of him gone made me so sad, because I felt like I would never find someone like him again. I felt as though the love, compassion, integrity, and humility he expressed brought out the best in me and losing this “piece” of me hurt. I wondered how long it would take to get over him and how much time I would spend being unhappy.
