Heartbreak is the overwhelming emotion that people everywhere, whoever they might be, have experienced regardless of their age or gender. We experience a growth-promoting process that often may stretch us emotionally and elicit inner-self doubt that can cause a change of views about the world and us. In this paper, I would like to share the weighty interaction a particular situation had in constructing who I am today: that was the unforgettable heartache of a breakup.
The breakup was the roaring romance—the ear-shattering laughter, heart-pumping love, and realizing that wonders are ahead. Conversely, after some time, our cooperation developed several cracks, increased by essential sad aspects and insolvable issues. The Bible that followed made me so much shattered, lost, and taking the worth of myself on and off. It was a painful moment showing how subjects are in love and unforeseen relationships.
When the romance with my old flame ended, I launched myself most thoroughly into a quest for self and pain. I admitted my feelings instead of driving them away, allowing me to mourn and absorb these lessons. It made me realize that it was of utmost importance to clearly understand my personal boundaries and respect myself in future encounters with others.
Heartbreak might have been a blessing in disguise that opened the doors of self-improvement and inner growth. Heartbreak can unmask the uncertainties, superficial appearances and feelings hidden in the relationship (Kreider para). The real intention of it was the performance of nurturing emotional growth of my own instead of outside confirmation. The journey of heartbreak empowered me and emphasized that resilience and endurance are remarkable. On top of everything, that experience made me realize how capable I am of getting through the most excruciating pain and eventually ending up as a stronger person. I came to discern and appreciate the sense of vulnerability and gradually opened myself to love, yet I did it cautiously, being aware of myself.
Besides, the pain from the breakup helped me understand how important it is to me and how significant it is to be kind to myself. Breakups may show the significance of sticking to the limits of healthy and proper relationships (Verhallen et al., para3). By reflecting on and discovering myself introspectively, I eventually learned to cherish myself and make myself my own concern.
Through this experience, I came to the point that, in the end, I will not be myself anymore, which I was before that terrible thing happened to me. Through the pain I have gone through, I have been able to get a service. I am stronger and happier from the lessons I have learned. It forced me to do a self-evaluation so that I could improve myself, fight against these cankers mentioned by Shakespeare, and gain success. My trip to my grandparent’s countryside dwelling watched my heart the power of love, recognition, care for my health, and embracing myself as I am. The agony of heartbreak has taught me so much, making me wiser in the quest for the right companion, consequently reaching my blog target 2. For me, to get my story out is to build bridges. I intend to inform others who have gone through what I did to tell them that all body pain is always temporary and should not be an outlet for giving up your worth living. Heartbreak does not pave the way for belonging; it initiates the chapter by putting things in place, blossoming life and reinventing the self.
