This Is How a Broken Heart Can Actually Be Good for You
Ugh, heartbreak is the worst, trust me, I know, but have you ever thought about how
a broken heart can benefit you?
You might be unwilling to believe me but I know what I’m talking about.
A broken heart might be painful and traumatic but it can help prepare you for harder things
in life like nothing else can.
#1 It Helps You Get a Grasp on Reality The truth is that at the beginning we all
have an unrealistic perception of love.
We tend to think that’s all smiles and rainbows and long summer afternoons, but after your
first heart break you realize that love is actually a pretty rough game to play.
When your feelings are involved there’s always a good chance that you might get hurt
and it’s only after getting your heart broken that you realize that when it comes to love
you’re always risking your own skin.
#2 It Makes You Self-Reliant Although we all hate to admit it, the reality
is that most of us tend to lose ourselves in our relationships.
However, the idea behind a successful relationship is to have two different people merge their
lives, not have two different people merge into one individual.
But it can be hard to realize that you’re heading towards that direction when you’re
in the relationship.
After a breakup though you’ll be able to find yourself again and you’ll realize how
important it is to hold on to yourself because really, you’ve all you’ve got for forever.
#3 It Challenges You Nothing can bring you down like a broken heart
and when you do get your heart broken you’ll realize that everything will become a challenge,
from going out with friends to getting up in the morning, things will become a lot more
impossible than you would have thought possible.
But at the same time a heartbreak will help you find your inner strength.
