If You’re Heartbroken, You Need to Hear This
Breakups. We love them, don’t we? (Yes, that’s sarcasm.)
But really, why have we been conditioned to treat breakups like something to fear, something to avoid, something that destroys us?
Sure, breakups hurt. In the moment, they can feel like the end of the world.
But I want to offer you a different lens:
Breakups don’t destroy you,
They reveal you.
They crack you open in all the places you forgot you needed healing.
And who you become after…?
Wiser. Softer. Stronger. Happier.
Yes, happier.
Because endings aren’t punishments. They’re portals.
They close the door on cycles that kept looping far too long. They end chapters we’ve outgrown, even if we didn’t want to admit it.
We fear endings because we don’t know what comes next. The unknown feels like a black hole.
But isn’t that what makes life magical?
Think about it, when you read a book or watch a movie, the excitement is in the not knowing.
You wouldn’t want someone to spoil the plot, would you?
Your life is unfolding the same way.
And a breakup? It places you right in the middle of that uncertainty.
It’s terrifying, yes, but it’s also thrilling.
It means anything is possible.
So here’s what I want you to do:
Stop resisting the fall.
Let the breakup embrace you. Let the pain, the fear, the sorrow, all of it, hold you for a while.
And then something magical will happen…
You’ll realize you’re not falling.
You’re floating.
Because your inner self, the one you’ve silenced for too long, is carrying you now.
You just never gave yourself the chance to discover that… until now.
It’s like finally letting go of a tree branch you’ve been clinging to, your hands raw from the grip, only to realize there’s a bed of soft moss below.
You are that moss.
Your own softness catches you. Your own strength holds you.
Yes, heartbreak can feel like your soul has shattered.
But sometimes things fall apart… so they can come back together even more beautifully.
Pain changes us.
It teaches us compassion, because we know what it feels like.
It deepens our kindness, because we recognize suffering in others.
But here’s the one job you must take seriously after a breakup:
Don’t let it make you bitter.
Don’t let it harden your heart.
Don’t let it dim your light.
Because that beautiful, radiant love you carry? The world still needs it.
You still need it.
When you shut down after heartbreak, you close yourself off to the very thing you deserve most: love.
As Greg Alan Isakov sings,
“If it weren’t for second chances, we’d all be alone.”
Give yourself a second chance.
To feel.
To trust.
To love again.
After my own emotionally abusive relationship, I almost didn’t.
I almost gave up.
But if I had?
I never would’ve met the man who now loves me so patiently, so fully, so unconditionally.
I would’ve shut the world out and missed out on the life that was waiting for me.
So let the pain embrace you.
Let it teach you.
Let it shape you into something more beautiful than before.
Make friends with your pain.
It won’t stay forever.
But the wisdom it leaves behind? That’s yours to keep.
And you won’t regret it. I promise you that.
