They say once something's broken, even if you fix it with glue, duct tape, and all of the above, it will never be the same again. But if you take a plate and shatter it on the floor and glue it all back together, who's to say that it's no good or no longer beautiful anymore? If anything, it's stronger and next time it's dropped or thrown there's a less likely chance that it will shatter.
Aren't broken hearts the same way?
We go around breaking hearts and getting our hearts broken like it's the 'take a penny, leave a penny' bowl at the grocery store. I'm in no way, shape, or form saying that we need to stop breaking each others' hearts, because that would be another article in its own, but instead we should view 'loving with a broken heart' its own form of art.
Getting your heart broken will leave many scars on your heart but that doesn't mean that you have to let it change the way you love. Sure, it may give you trust issues and make you scared of opening up and committing, but if we let that keep us back we're never going to get anywhere. We need to realize that we will break just as many hearts about the same amount of times that we will get our heart broken, it's inevitable. And with that being said, we can either learn from it and protect our heart without over protecting it, or we can never let anyone in and push people away.
Loving people with a broken heart is like holding a baby for the first time; it's so exciting yet we're so nervous that we'll drop them or hurt them in someway. But once you finally get comfortable enough it's the best feeling in the world. All someone with a broken heart wants is to be loved again and it's hard for them to let others in. We all just want to be loved and at the end of the day we are all people who have gotten their hearts broken and just want to be loved and love again.
It's hard to glue all the pieces back together when you're not quite sure where all the pieces are, and that's why it's so easy for all of us to go back to the person that once had them all. Even if you think that you have found all the piece they probably won't fit like they did before however, chances are you will never find all of the pieces and you'll have to adapt to the changes of new people and hopefully they will fill in those pieces that you're missing.
