Picking up the Pieces
The feelings are at once familiar yet just as painful to anyone who has been through it. The anger, sadness, introspection and frustration that goes along with a breakup are cathartic in the long run and devastating in the short term.How do you console yourself when the person you’d naturally reach out to is the same one you now must avoid? These are the times that ultimately make you a better person many argue but that is not what you want to hear. Of course, you’d want the phone to magically ring with the news your former lover has come to their senses, of course you would take them back.
So here it is. Nine hours into a newly single life, a position that you did not choose. Just a day ago, blissfully but cautiously making plans for the weekend as if everything was normal, unaware that your anchor would pull up and leave you adrift in the dark and turbulent sea where the waters were previously calm.
What advice do you offer others; is it what you would tell yourself? Embrace the experience, let the tears fall, pick up the pieces and let your heart mend naturally. Yes, that will do.
