- It's fascinating how much of a strong filter that heartbreak can have on your life. What was beautiful and perfect and colorful yesterday or last week or last year is now dull and empty and meaningless and ugly to look at.

Heartbreak is powerful. And at some point, it stops becoming an emotion, a feeling, a phase that you're just going through right now. And then in an instant, that all is evaporated. You try to move on. But it never works. That's because this is real life and there is no switch. There's no audience planted in seats with bowls of popcorn, watching your movie for an hour and fifty-two minutes. Your life is not going to follow a setup:problem:climax:resolution storyline. We heal in little moments that we don't even notice. One night, you fall asleep without dwelling on the fact that you didn't say good night to them. You don't even realize this happened, because you're back at it the next night, tossing and turning and reminiscing on the times when you used to laugh at each other. All you know is that you're doing your work. And you're going to happy hour later. And you're going to laugh without feeling weird about it. The world is still moving. Your life is still happening. You're okay. You will be okay.
