Being in love with someone is contentiously one of the best things that can happen to someone. What is better than finding a person who completes you? Being in love with someone transforms you into something new but sometimes, the love we think we've found could turn out to be heartbreak.

The sad thing about loving someone is that some lovers don't always stick around. This means you sometimes become vulnerable to some of the awful things a relationship can bring along with it: crying yourself to sleep, over-thinking, asking yourself why this happens to you.

Getting your heart broken is not something that is fun. It feels like everything in your life has frozen over and you are living in a black hole. Sometimes, when you think you are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and you think your hurt will stop, something worse happens.

The thing about heartbreak, though, is that it teaches you to fully know and appreciate the love. Nobody can fully appreciate being in love until they have fully experienced the whole roller coaster. You will also never see the true power of the love that you have for someone until you hear the two words "it's over."

Seeing someone going through the pain of being heartbroken is devastating because I know how hard it is. Nothing that you say or do can make that kind of pain go away. Something that I do know, though, is that one day it will get better. One day you will be able to see clearly that love isn't what brought you your pain. You'll see that love doesn't hurt. It was the fact of not being properly loved and cared for that broke you.

What we need to learn about love, is that it is one of the greatest feelings to have. You have to learn that it's ok to leave something that doesn't give you the proper love that you deserve. You are the writer of your life and you have to focus on what's best for YOU. I've learned that to know love, you sometimes have to know heartbreak. Just know that in the end, I promise that you'll come out of that storm a stronger and happier person. You'll realize that the person who let you go was someone that you wanted, not the person that you truly needed. This isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new and better you.
