broken heart

Q: How do I mend my broken heart?

A: Unfortunately, along with the joys of dating, comes the risk of a broken heart. The thing that is so important to remember is you will not instantly "be ok" again. Time is truly the only thing that can help you heal. The second thing you need to remember is you can CHOOSE how you respond to a break up. You can choose to learn from the relationship and you can decide to have hope that better days will come OR you can choose to wallow in your pity, your sorrow, and your brokenness and you will miss the blessings that come to you daily. Am I saying that the day after a break up you are suppose to be all smiles? Absolutely not. It's ok to cry. It's ok to stay in your PJs, get a tub of ice cream, sit on the couch & watch a sad movie. Just don't have a pity party for yourself every single day for a month! No guy is worth that! If you do that, you're letting him steal the joy of life that is rightfully YOURS!

Just know that if it didn't work out with this person, there is truly someone more amazing waiting for you, being prepared for you, and when you meet him, you will understand why it never worked out with anyone else. It will be worth it!

happy dating! `A
