So here you are after what feels like the worst heartbreak of your life. We have all been there in one time or another. Thinking at one moment that we had it all, then the next moment you are alone, and you spend however long wondering what the heck happened. Life is going to bring heartbreak; we learn that early in life, but what no one can explain is, how do we get back?
We go through a lot of emotions, but at the end of it all, we get back to ourselves -- back to who we were before it all happened. After a breakup, we all want to focus on the "glass is half empty" part of it, but here I am today to tell you what you have to look forward to after the waves of emotions are less overwhelming.
We gain back the friends we spent time with, but not as much as when you were with your significant other. You were used to splitting your time in half trying so hard not to lose your friends and not lose your significant other as well. It's true when people say you are different in front of your friends, family and significant other. Maybe with your friends, you were more outgoing and courageous, maybe even more comfortable in your skin than you had ever felt. Now is the time to realize that again. Go out with friends again and realize that the piece you that you thought was gone was really only lost and your friends could be the way to get it back.
You gain the opportunity to find yourself again. With the time you spent with your significant other, dedicating so much time doing what he/she liked or wanted to do, you can finally spend reigniting a lost passion you put aside to spend more time with him/her. You get time to find out who you want to be and what you want to do in life, instead of spending so much time trying to be or do whatever he or she wanted you to be or do. This sounds hard because, in the beginning, you feel like you will never get back, but it is true what they say, "Time heals all wounds."
In the beginning, we all know the feeling of sadness confusion and depression. But fortunately, with time, friends and family, you will heal, and the strength you gain from the heartbreak will the best thing to look forward to.
