If there is one stand out fact I've come to learn in relationships, it's that the first cut is always the deepest.

Opening your heart blindly for the first time isn't hard. You've never done it before, so it seems natural to let other see into your soul. Unfortunately, sometimes those first relationships don't always work out in the long haul, leaving you defeated, hurt, and broken.

It's a new kind of shock and pain when the person you began to fall for drops you like a fly. You begin to blame yourself for everything. "Maybe if I had done this... Or hadn't done this... He would've stayed." That self doubt turns into hate.

So much hatred towards him (or her) conjures inside your fragile heart. Everything that seemed so right, automatically switches to wrong, and in that moment, you can't do anything to fix it. You want to unfollow and block that person on every level of social media and rid them of your life, but you also don't want that to ruin any other "chances" you could have with them. The only issue being you made up those potential second chances in your head. You continue to like or even love the idea of that guy, not the real him. It hurts even more when he continues to text, Snapchat, or even like your Instagram pics once in a blue moon.

Then comes the big whammy.

Surprise, surprise, he got a girlfriend.

Then reality starts checking in. He is not the guy for you. That boy came into your world, flipped it upside down, and screwed you over. He is a boy who toyed with your emotions. A boy.

You deserve a man.

Someone who wants to be with you and only you. Someone who takes you out on dates and doesn't want to just make out with you. Someone who introduces you to their friends and doesn't pop into your life randomly and then leave you on read. You deserve that someone and that someone will come around one day.

I know it hurts now, but trust me, trust me, trust me, it does get better.

It could take a month, it could take a year, but it does get better.

Talking about it helps. I know, it's scary to open up, again. Considering what happened the first time, it's nerve wracking to knowingly let someone else in, even if it isn't in a romantic way. You feel embarrassed and stupid for still being caught up over this boy who didn't see you as much. It's normal!

It is normal to have feelings for someone and care for someone, but it is also normal to let the past be the past and move on. The day when you say, "I can't believe I was caught up over that stupid guy for so long lol!" will be the most relieving moment of your life. It seems impossible, but it will happen with time.

The first cut is always the deepest, but it heals with love.
