The Truth About Heartbreak

A hopeless romantic is what I'd label myself to be. I've spent the last 3 years of my life in a shitty, toxic relationship that I knew no different of. The problem is that I still loved him, after he cheated, treated me terribly, used me, left me. You know I always thought these were just things you read of in the books before the main character meets the love of her life, there always has to be some kind of conflict to combat it but truthfully this has just sucked. My heart ached for a man who hurts me, and I was convinced this is what every relationship is like. My friends, family, his family- everyone who knows what he did probably thinks I'm a complete and utter idiot. It's just a lot easier said than done letting go of someone you put so much effort and time into. Someone who knows all your secrets, knows your heart, has seen you at your worst and best, and it's even harder to imagine what was going through their head when they go behind your back and completely betray your trust when they do know the real you. They leave, just like everyone else, except this is the one person who always promised to be there, to hold your heart close to them and give you the world within their limits of course. My story isn't just about this heartbreak, in fact it starts many many heartbreaks ago. Just fortunately this was the one who put me on the path to find me, and what makes me happy. It took a lot of hurting and breaking to be at this point but I made it out alive and you will too. God has the perfect someone out there for you, He will take the pain and use it for good. He always has for me. You've got this, you have your whole life ahead of you.
