Mending a broken heart
As of today, I can still feel the pain of letting go of someone I loved the most. However, I can do nothing but face the reality even if it hurts. I appreciate a lot the article written by one of my editors. Her article is included in the last issue of YB Mag and I just assumed it was dedicated to me. (smiles)
I'd like to share this to all of you my dear readers and I just do hope you learn something from this beautiful article the way I did.
How to mend a broken heart
By Aizlynn Anne Robledo
They say relationships are easy to get into but hard to get out of. But what's even harder is when you get out of one with a broken heart.
It's a sad truth that not every good relationship lasts. Usually when people get out of relationships, they get out of track, which is the very reason why I wrote this article. There are a few things we must do in order to get back on our feet.
First is that we must CHANNEL OUR EMOTIONS. Some are afraid to express what they really feel. Some people are ashamed to cry because they don't want to let people think they're weak. There's nothing wrong with being honest to what you really feel. It's really unhealthy if you just keep all those feelings to yourself.
They say that unexpressed feelings never die. If left unexpressed, they could accumulate, pile up as great irrepressible vehemence, and explode just like that even during situations wherein you wouldn't want to divulge them.
Second is that we must learn to ACCEPT THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE. In life, we don't usually get what we want, and things usually don't work out the way we want them to. If this happens, we are left with two choices: we can choose to react badly with all our negative emotions or we could be wise and brave enough to accept everything and make appropriate response instead.
Alexander Graham Bell once said that when one door closes, another door opens, but we so often look so long and regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which opened for us.
The very essence of acceptance is that when we start to accept everything, opportunities start to accept us.
Lastly, we should learn to GET ON WITH LIFE. Isaac Newton, one of the most brilliant men in the history once said, "For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction." Once we loose something, it only means one thing: something new is coming our way.
If you think that previous "you" has been torn apart and if you think that you heart has been shattered into pieces, don't just do nothing and grieve and mourn forever, rebuild a new and better you, and pick up those pieces and put them back together for your heart is not only meant for one person. There are a lot of people in need of your love.
Life is indeed full of challenges. If you stumble, learn to get back on your feet and live life making the most of it. Love is such an impossible thing to control. It often brings ache to our hearts. If it happens, let time heal the wounds for they say time heals everything.
