I don't think some people realize how powerful a broken heart can be. I know that at the time it feels like your world as you know it is ending, but the journey that comes next is magical. After your heart breaks, the love for yourself that slipped away over time slowly starts to come back, because all the love you were giving to the wrong person has no where to go but back home to you.
You slowly realize how strong you are, you learn how to make yourself happy, how to just be your own person. You laugh again, you smile again - surrounded by the people that really care about you, and you know it's genuine, you feel happy. You won't let someone take advantage of your kind heart like that again because you know better than you did before. You learn so much from your heartache, and you're never quite the same again, but in the best way possible.
You can't help but feel proud of yourself because you never knew it was possible for something to get more whole when it’s torn into pieces.
