When it comes to falling in love with someone, or what we think is love, we cling onto the other person like an anchor. They become a part of us and we yearn to know them and be with them. No matter how hard our hearts will break when everything falls out, we still hang on. We still have hope that maybe it will all work itself out. However, we don’t realize that the pain we feel isn’t from just getting your heart broken, but also from hanging onto that thread of hope, wishing they would take you back.

There are four groups of people that can break your heart... There’s the world and society, boys, friends, and even family members. It’s what you do after the heartbreak that matters. Of course there are the three things you have to do; let go, move on, and forgive. But it will not be easy. It all starts with letting go of that thread of hope that you are clinging to and trying not to play the "what if" moments in your head. Then it's moving on past the good and bad times with the boy who could make your heart melt in a matter of seconds. Lastly, it's about forgiving the boy who broke your heart.

But one thing is certain, you will be alright. You don’t need a boy to complete you. But don’t let your heart break change you completely. Don’t let it make you bitter towards other people trying to love you. Don't let your heartbreak destroy you and don’t let it destroy your relationship with God. He is the one that will be there when your heart breaks. He is the one who will be there when you feel like no one else cares about your world falling apart. He’s the one that will be there, with arms wide open and waiting for you to come home.

"Out of suffering and darkness emerge the strongest souls." -Carly Lynn

Everything that happens in your life is a blessing or a lesson from God. Be strong. Emerge from the darkness of having your heart broken and let it be a lesson to others and to yourself. You dictate your own happiness, so what are you going to do to be happy again? Now that is up to you.
