The Bright Side To Getting Your Heart Broken

Why I am okay with getting my heart broken.

The Bright Side To Getting Your Heart Broken

Admit it, we've all done it...we've had that boy (or girl) that was head over heels for us but we were just not feeling it. We have also fallen in love with someone who didn't love us back, it's a vicious cycle that keeps going.

But it is OK!

I am not mad about my heart being broken, just like I have no regrets about breaking someone else's heart. Sure at the time it was not a good feeling, but I learned from my heart breaks...and I hope those hearts that I've broken have learned from me also. I'm giving them a chance to venture out and find out what they like in someone and find that someone who can reciprocate their feelings. I know they would not be happy with me because I was just not as into it as they were.

I am a strong believer in the saying"everything happens for a reason", getting my heart broken is just clearing the path for the one that will not break my heart; just like breaking hearts is allowing that person to find someone who will not break theirs and me finding someone who loves me and I can return those feelings of love to.

Sure breakups suck, it will take a while to heal and move on...it will be okay. Looking back at all of the times I have been broken, I actually thank those people for teaching me lessons and molding me into the woman I am now. I am also sure that the hearts that I have broken have (or eventually will) thank me for what I did, we show each other what we want and do not want for our future.

It is okay to break hearts, you cannot be expected to stay around someone who does not make you happy and they should not expect you to stay either. There is no point in being in a relationship where everything is one sided or fights are constant.

Dear boys I've spent time crying over, thank you for breaking my heart.

Dear boys whose hearts I've broken, if you haven't thanked me yet...you will. Down the road when you are surrounded by your beautiful family, you will thank me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
