A heartbreak is essential. Especially in life. You have now become curious.
This may be due to your lack of understanding a heartbreak; never experiencing
one. Or you are just genuinely curious. Regardless, I’m just happy I have your
attention.
Let's use high school as an example. In this domain of drama and chaos, relationships seem to be a constant factor. Who’s dating who. However, to be quite frank, I don’t give the majority of these relationships any actual admiration. It’s more just seeing someone you’re attracted to and he or she having mutual feelings. Rarely, do any couples experience the power and complexity of love.
So to reiterate my point of heartbreak and the importance of it. We as humans have a particular flaw that we either try to ignore or lie about. Let’s face it, we all take things for granted. I use the word “things” to establish the greatest spectrum of all that is contained in our reality of life. This ranges to having a job, having a family, or just being able to eat. We don’t value “things” we find as common in our daily routines. Yet, the moment that commonness disappears, all hell breaks loose and social media blows up.
Heartbreak… This teaches those who experience it, a life lesson. Lets direct heartbreak in regards to relationships. Simply to create an easier understanding. Ryan and Vicki date. Vicki is a great girlfriend but Ryan gets used to this and becomes complacent. After a period of disaster relationship wise, they break up.
In the next few months, Ryan misses Vicki and realizes that he made a mistake. He goes back. Vicki is gone. Ryan and Vicki will both experience one of the greatest life lessons ever in the segment of their lives.
We grow as people when we understand a loss that can never be fixed. Or in that specific time period. A factor is how we as people do not possess the ability to make right; only to rely on time.
For myself, as a writer, heartbreak has taught me to understand that in order to love anyone, I must first love myself. I must learn to live in the moment. Heartbreak has taught me that happiness is a choice and there’s always wisdom and light, even in the darkest of times.
