As people go through life, they have all sorts of different feelings. There is happiness, but also sadness. There is excitement, but also anger. There is love, but there is also heartache. All emotions and feelings are normal for people to experience and go through. There are bad times, bumps in the road and hard stops throughout life, but they smooth out and get better through time. Losing people close to you is the worst feeling in the world. These feelings stick with us throughout our lives and in some cases, never go away.

One loss is a breakup of a relationship. If you've ever been through a relationship that was not just a friendship, you know all of the love and heartache involved. With relationships comes happiness, joy, cute couple goal pictures and so much love. What people don't realize is that relationships also come with disagreements, arguments, day after day fights and tough love. There are numerous emotions that feel people involved in the relationship and sometimes they are hard to shake off. When a relationship comes to an end, you feel like that is literally the end of anything and everything. If the breakup was bad on your end, your heart feels broken in two and like you will never heal. Yes, the feelings suck, and your heart is in pain, but that will go away eventually.

One day, you'll realize you deserve more than the pain and sadness the breakup (and even maybe the relationship) was giving to you. One day, the pain will subside and you will be so much happier. If it comes to an end because you and your significant other didn't work out, it is for the better. God has a plan set for you and wants you to have better things happen to you than a life of heartbreak and sadness in a relationship that wasn't doing your justice.

The loss of a friendship is a very tough loss. Losing a friend you counted as a best friend is something you can never forget. Sometimes, friend breakups are never explained. They just end and you never know if you will be able to start that friendship back up again. Friendships being over with can be worse than a relationship breakup. You lose someone you thought was always going to be there for you. You had each other to talk to every day and knew one day you could count on them for anything. Something went wrong, and you couldn't handle anything anymore. Someone might have started being mean to other, or just shut them out. Eventually, there came a time when the friendship needed to end in order for the friends to figure themselves out. These breaks can take a few days, or even a few months, it's hard to say. One day, the friendship can go back to normal and how it used to be, but it won't be the same. Friendship breakups come out of nowhere sometimes and they are one of the hardest things to go through, but they get better. You start to figure out that maybe you don't need them all that much in your life. You can go each day without having to talk to them because sometimes they never said any words in the first place. You will be ok without them.

Feelings suck, we all know that. Developing feelings for people is scary. You can never know how anything works out in the end. Heartache is tough, but you can get through it. Love, happiness, joy and excitement are the best feelings for people to feel. They are hard to feel every day, but they will always be there. Sadness, anger and fear are feelings that come at random times sometimes and try to stick around. They can overcome you if you let them, but you are stronger than that. If you feel like you ever have hit rock bottom, good. You can only rise up from there and keep going up. Start each day with a happy heart and keep moving. It's easier said than done. Breakups, heartaches, losses of people and things closest to you do not define who you are. You are much more than degrading relationships, or unthoughtful friends. There are so many things in this cruel world to be happy about. Find the people who love you, and everything that makes you happy, and stick with it!

Deuteronomy 31:6 says "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

There is always someone by your side, whether you can see them or not.
