College Students Confess What Love After Heartbreak Feels Like

"This is a silly question. It feels like love."

If you've had your heart broken you know it's one of the worst feelings in the world. It's such an overwhelming feeling that sometimes it's even hard to breathe. You miss that person so much you can't picture a life without them let alone a love with someone new. You cry, you grieve and then you learn to pick yourself up. Slowly, you take steps forward. You move on, you feel happy again.

I asked 5 college students what finding love after heartbreak feels like and here are their answers:

"Wonderful"
"It's scary at first. I went in to this relationship very cautious. I had to learn to let all my insecurities and ideas about love from my previous relationship go. Once I did that I was able to relax and appreciate what I have now."
"Healing"
"Love after heartache is a breath of fresh air. Waking up in the morning to the sun shining."

And lastly, the response that really hit me:

"This is a silly question. It feels like love. Sometimes it's real love that makes you feel like a teen again. Sometimes people think lust is love. It feels like whatever you allow yourself to feel."

Love after heartbreak feels like love.

It's a different person so it's a different experience, but it feels like love. There is a sense of hope in these words. There's hope in knowing that your next love will be just as wonderful and exciting and amazing as your last, just in different ways.

Know that the love you had before can't ever be replicated, but be confident that a beautiful new love lies ahead of you.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
