Broken Hearted

"The world breaks everyone," Hemingway once wrote, "and afterward many are strong at the broken places." A broken heart is simply a heart that has a chance to become stronger. It's a heart that is more self-sufficient, more open to the truth, and more capable of lasting love.  -Martha Beck



Relationships end.  It's horrible, but true. And every time, its like a fresh wound you just couldn't have anticipated would be so devastating.  


I have a friend whom I love very much.  She is stuck in a place of turmoil and sadness.  She's lost and confused. Her whole world has been thrown upside down because a relationship can't work.  We all know they say it takes two people to make a relationship work.  And while that is valid, I think it's just as important to keep in mind that sometimes, no matter how much two people say they love each other, it is absolutely the right time for a relationship 
to end. 


When the bad things inevitably happen, don't forget that those bad things make room for the new good stuff to take it's place. Don't forget, "what can not be avoided, must be accepted"- any human heart
