Loving With A Broken Heart

We're all just trying to find the missing pieces...

Loving With A Broken Heart
olivejuiceontherocks.wordpress.com

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.

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.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
