ONE OF the best feelings a person could ever have is to be in love with another. And, sadly, one of the worst feelings in the world is to be out of love. Is there a home for the broken hearted? Can one mend their broken wings and learn to fly again?
Like any other wound, heartbreak takes time to heal.
Don't believe crying yourself to sleep at nights will help you to overcome a heart break. The first steps are to relax and spend some time with friends and family, not to mention going out and having some fun. These are all to take your mind off "the heart breaker". If that doesn't work, try meeting new people. The aim for all this is to open up your eyes, and allow yourself to see the truth. Which is that you are still a valuable person. Besides, look at it this way, you are not the one losing, he or she is. They are losing a unique individual.
My personal philosophy in life is that out of everything bad comes something good. Therefore, the bad thing in this situation is losing the person you love, hence ending up with a broken heart. However the good thing that will come out of it is that, with that person out of your life, you will meet someone new. Someone who will accept you and appreciate you for who you are.
So again, I'll ask, can one mend one's broken wings and learn to fly again? Sure you can. Love comes with a lot of risks so before falling, first consider the cost and weigh your feelings.
