broken hearts everywhere
It's break-up season at the moment...what's going on?Every time a friend of mine breaks up, I feel like I'm living it vicariously through them. Geeze, that makes me broken up a lot.Sometimes people don't think about their actions & what they say. One small word can cause a huge amount of damage. It's a butterfly effect. Sometimes the damage is impossible to repair. When you break a vase, even if you manage to patch it back up, the cracks still show & never go away.It sucks seeing my friends hurt because of some stupid thing some jerk said that wasn't even true. I wish I could hurt him as much as he hurt her so that he will know how it feels.I think it all still boils down to how much you love yourself. Because someone smart once said, "If you can't learn to love yourself, how can you expect to love others?".If you love yourself, you wouldn't allow others to treat you like dirt, to make you feel small, to make you feel like something that you are not. I know that it's easy for me to say it but in actual fact it is so hard to do. I still think it's true though.My mom once told me that it's a cruel world, and if you were going to wait for society to give you the affirmation you think you need/deserve, then you'd be waiting till the grave & beyond. You have to give yourself the affirmation. It's a mental barrier so many people struggle with.Life's a bitch, but it helps when good friends are around. Ultimately though, the strength has to come from within yourself.What would it take for her to believe this??
