Dear my heart-broken friend,
Hurt. Betrayed. Sad. Angry. Shattered. These are all emotions I know that you are feeling. No one deserves this, especially not you. No one saw it coming either, right? Your relationship was so perfect to the public eye that this could have never happened to you two. Now look at you, you’re heartbroken. But I am here to tell you that this is OK. The way you’re feeling is OK. You will get through this, you will get over them and you will be happy once again.
They were your first love, the strongest love you ever felt or even the only person you loved. The memories you've shared with them will always stick with you. The smells you’ve smelt with them will always trigger a memory. The places you’ve been together will always remind you of them. The love you have shared with them, will never simply go away. But everything happens for a reason. You’re hurt, you’re mad, you’re sad but it is OK to feel this way. You need to realize that this may have been your first love but it certainly will not be your last. You need to stop blaming yourself and constantly thinking “what if…” You need to realize that it is their loss, not yours. Letting go will only create room for better people.
Yes, letting go is going to be one of the hardest things you will ever face. To go through life without them will be one of the toughest things you will face but it teaches you something. This teaches you that you took a risk. You took a risk to trust and fall in love with someone. This is what life is all about, taking risks. Life does not come with directions, it is based on the decisions we make. Well, you chose to take a risk to fall in love. Unfortunately, this risk has lead you to feel all of these emotions and it does not seem like you made the right choice. But how are you supposed to know how happy feels like if don’t go through things like sadness and anger?
What I am getting at is that you will get through this and this is just another lesson added to the book. But until you realize that this is a lesson, I am here all the way. I will help you get through this heart-break because I wouldn’t be a friend if I was not here. You’re entitled to the sadness and anger you feel. But please do not give up on yourself because of this. Now it is your time to provide your own happiness, work on yourself, focus on school, and live the life you want to live without any restrictions. I am never too busy to listen, I will always be here along the way. This is your time to shine. Show them that you do not need them and starting now you control your own happiness.
