Loving With A Broken Heart

We're all just trying to find the missing pieces...

Loving With A Broken Heart
olivejuiceontherocks.wordpress.com

They say once something's broken, even if you fix it with glue, duct tape, and all of the above, it will never be the same again. But if you take a plate and shatter it on the floor and glue it all back together, who's to say that it's no good or no longer beautiful anymore? If anything, it's stronger and next time it's dropped or thrown there's a less likely chance that it will shatter.

Aren't broken hearts the same way?

We go around breaking hearts and getting our hearts broken like it's the 'take a penny, leave a penny' bowl at the grocery store. I'm in no way, shape, or form saying that we need to stop breaking each others' hearts, because that would be another article in its own, but instead we should view 'loving with a broken heart' its own form of art.

Getting your heart broken will leave many scars on your heart but that doesn't mean that you have to let it change the way you love. Sure, it may give you trust issues and make you scared of opening up and committing, but if we let that keep us back we're never going to get anywhere. We need to realize that we will break just as many hearts about the same amount of times that we will get our heart broken, it's inevitable. And with that being said, we can either learn from it and protect our heart without over protecting it, or we can never let anyone in and push people away.

Loving people with a broken heart is like holding a baby for the first time; it's so exciting yet we're so nervous that we'll drop them or hurt them in someway. But once you finally get comfortable enough it's the best feeling in the world. All someone with a broken heart wants is to be loved again and it's hard for them to let others in. We all just want to be loved and at the end of the day we are all people who have gotten their hearts broken and just want to be loved and love again.

It's hard to glue all the pieces back together when you're not quite sure where all the pieces are, and that's why it's so easy for all of us to go back to the person that once had them all. Even if you think that you have found all the piece they probably won't fit like they did before however, chances are you will never find all of the pieces and you'll have to adapt to the changes of new people and hopefully they will fill in those pieces that you're missing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
