There's nothing more painful in life than a broken heart. It can't be healed with medicine or stitches. Time eventually makes it callus over, making the heart hard and impenetrable. I figured that I wasn't the only one here who is hurting, or has been hurt in the past. It makes me feel a little better at least to talk to someone about it. I thought maybe it would help others too.
I remembered when I ripped one of my Aces in half. I had to buy an entirely new pack. Saddest day of my life.
Mistakes are made and then the concept it learned and applied to future situations. It sucks but you grow, and growing is good.
Broken hearts... Love... Young love in particular is so...heartbreaking to observe, as a scientist. So passionate, so innocent, and yet, so utterly doomed.
I've never had my heart broken, but that's because I've never put it in a position where it can be broken. But like Zephyr said, you can learn from the mistakes and move on. That's what humans excel at.
*hugs tightly* don't worry, just have in mind that there's someone out there just for you, who won't hurt you no mater what. just be patient.
I think that yes, emotional pain is particularly distressful. It doesn't have to be romantic, even though that's usually what people refer to when they say "broken heart"; it might also refer to the passing of a friend or relative out of one's life. I do disagree with you on one thing: the sentence that I emboldened in my quote of your post. I disagree with the sentiment that it gets easier, that each hurt is preparation for the next. Life will be consistent only in its inconsistency. It doesn't get easier; you just learn how to cope with your own feelings.
What i have to say: Every Relationship that ends, is just a past step in your life. Especially when someone is young. I think its just about trying, to find the one, and if the person you was with wasnt the one, you had at least a great time together, that you should always remember positive. And even if the most dont belive in it, you can still be friends. Its working pretty good for me and my ex boyfriend. We are just very good friends now, as we were before we got together. Its now 3 years since we broke up and we can speak very open of it now.
I ain't gonna lie my life has been pretty aweful. But not compared to many others, not even far. But, what makes my life bad is that I'm a self loathing idiot that doesn't even know who he is. But to put it in short, I wish you all the best, and know that I care.
One of my favorite quotes of all time: "Life is hard, and then you die." That's not to say that there isn't Hope, of course. The best you can do experience the pain, learn from it, and do you best until the end. I do apologize for my pessimism, so have a Fluttershy hanging from a tree: View attachment 6100 Hang in there, baby.
Some people take longer to learn. Like 2-3 times before it sinks in. I happen to be one that learns slowly from mistakes.
