A few months ago, I bought two books by Courtney Peppernell that are filled with poetry about heart break and healing the heart. These books did not necessarily heal me, but these books did help me realize that I am strong enough to survive heartbreak. You can survive heart break, heartbreak is not necessarily meant to break you. It can honestly heal you.

No matter how bad things may seem what you're going through is only a trial but I am not going to brush your trial off and make it seem small because it is not. This trial is here to teach and help you grow. It is here to help you discover a strength that you have never known. It may be dark, but just know that the sun always returns. These poems showed me a light when I never knew one existed. These are help you to take a step into healing yourself. To teach you that above all, the pain you are feeling is only temporary although you may not feel that way

1. Build Happiness 

" You can Build Happiness.You can plant a seed in your heart and let it grow. Let the happiness spread into your arms so when you hold others they feel it. Let it spread into your legs so when you walk people see it in your step. Keep building day by day until you have an entire empire."

2. Enough

" You can be passionate and determined and it will enough. You will find a roadblock on every corner, a force pulling you backward instead of forward. You will wonder why someone as passionate as you is going no where. But you are going somewhere. Every setback is part of the journey. The joy of probability is that eventually something will give. Your determination keeps you in the game. "

3. FEEL

"Feel it, all of it. The pain, the ache, the voice in your head screaming "Why did you stay for as long as you did?" You are allowed to pity yourself, you are allowed nights where you can barely move from bed. There is no limit in the time it takes to heal. But you must continue to feel. You need to break and bend and then ask yourself when all the misery will end. Because it will end. One morning you will wake up and you will notice the sun, you will notice the newspaper on your front lawn and that the nightmares have gone, you will notice yourself and how far you've come in moving on."

4. Human

" You must remember that you are human. Filled with thoughts and feelings that will make you ache until the pain feels it might stay. But it is not here to ruin you. The ache is here to remind you that you will survive , in anything that you do."

5.  You aren't emotional 

" You are not emotional or too soft. There are things in life that will try to turn your heart to stone. They will leave you bruised and angry, with feelings you have never known. But to be patient, to feel warmth when people turn cold, is both brave and radiant.

6. Coping 

"Breathe in, breathe out slowly, and count to ten. There is no rule book on how to cope when these things end. You may not feel it now, but things will get better, even if life doesn't tell you when.

7. Just a reminder 

" Sometimes a certain sadness comes along and you might not know where it is that you belong but your heart is home and I want you to know you are never alone. Sometimes others say hurtful things that make you feel like your face is twisted and they will suffocate your heart and some days it seems like everything is slowly falling apart. Sometimes your body aches and you feel like you lead and it's easier to pull your covers all the way over your head and pray that you never wake up but it's very important that you do. So if you don't feel beautiful when you open your eyes hope this reminds you that I think you are. Just try to remember this too."

8.Sun always returns 

"In moments that you feel alone and every mountain is too great for all the answers left unknown and convinced it is always too late. There is happiness in this lifetime one day these troubles will fade all your strength is in the skyline no matter how heavy your heart weighs. And some days it seems hope and despair take turns, but despite all our sadness the sun always returns.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
