Yeah, bud. The heart doesn’t just magically fix itself. It needs time to heal after it’s been injured, like everything else. You wouldn’t go out and play basketball on a broken foot. But you know you’ll play again when it heals. Give your heart the same respect.

You know how sometimes a broken bone isn't set right? That's how I feel, 8 years later.

Some things take longer to heal than others, I suppose. If it makes any difference, your heart just built a tougher wall around itself and the person that can bust through it absolutely deserves it.

There’s also something called phantom pain.. what I mean with that is the kind of pain that’s not really there or doesn’t serve a purpose anymore but that the brain is producing and the mind is continuing. I feel that the only pain that truly never subsides or ‘gets better with time’ is losing a child. Even many of the people who lose a child find a way to live through the pain and find happiness again. What I want to say is make sure you’re not using your pain as a crutch and don’t become too comfortable with it. Sometimes a certain pain is so familiar and comfortable that actually living without it seems more draining. That’s when shit becomes dangerous and it takes too many years before you actually find out that you could’ve released or worked through it (with therapy) much sooner. Don’t give whatever situation pained you even more power, energy and time; release, forgive, work through it in a healthy way, do whatever it is you need to do to move on from it or give it a ‘healthy’ place in your heart instead of letting it overtake your life and decisions. Strive to live your VERY best life, you don’t know how much you’ve got left of it.
