To The Broken Hearted

Dear You,

I heard you were heart broken. How do you feel? I bet you feel as if your heart is literally broken, injured, cracked or aching. I can relate. But, I can promise you that your cause of death will NOT be a broken heart.

I understand that you put your all into something that you thought would last forever. I understand that you loved with your whole heart, with all that you had just for it to be for absolutely nothing or just for it to be taken away.

I get why you cry so hard that you feel like you can’t breathe and your heart, that broken heart is suddenly going to just stop beating. I get that it honestly does hurt.

But isn’t it a relief to know that weeping only endures for a night and joy comes in the morning?!

Oh… you don’t want to hear that right now? Well, I get that too.

But you have got to find comfort in the fact that when you think on it, you’ve been here before. You’ve had your heart broken before. You’ve lost someone you loved before. You’ve gone through a breakup or suffered a loss before, time and time again. It may have been something completely different than what your going through right now but somehow…. you made it through.

Did you forget? Yes, your not in the same place you were before because you were brought through it with a comfort and a peace that you can’t even find the words to explain. With such a peace that you almost forgot that you even went through it.

And here you are now broken once again, but can we agree after reminiscing that you aren’t just broken but you are beautifully broken because NOW you’re beginning to see that there is a light. That darkness that you kept seeing is behind you and ahead of you is a little light that is only going to get brighter and brighter the closer you allow yourself to get to it.

Reach for it, and know that all of this hurt and pain that you’re feeling WILL be behind you… very soon.

I promise, your cause of death will NOT be a broken heart.

Signed,

Me
