Heartache

(This is for all the women who have just gotten out of a relationship and all the feelings that go along with it.)

Woman! Do you not see how wonderful you are? Do you not know by now that the sun still comes up every day? Do you not feel yourself getting a little bit stronger?

Every day, that hole in your heart repairs itself a little more until it scars. You get stronger but learn to appreciate the most sincere and gentle touch even more. We cannot love without the pain of loss. So it hurts right now, but one day you will wake up and that heavy ache in your heart will be lighter, the sun will be brighter, and you will feel hopeful for the new day.

Whoever came up with the idea that there is only one person out there for each of us? Who invented the debilitating idea of "the one"? Do you truly think that God would make only one person to compliment you? Why don't you believe that there are many people out there that can make you happy? You have many friends, many family members, many co-workers that meet your needs in different ways. There WILL be someone else that will meet your needs, perhaps differently than before, but maybe even better!

We all remember the little things about an ex that still tug at our heart strings. You relish those little moments until you believe that they can never come again. I say, never forget those moments, but lock them away for a while so you can focus on yourself. If we dwell in the past, we will surely miss the present and perhaps the future!

Be good to yourself. You are worthy of more than heartache! Take time to get to know yourself again. In a relationship we often associate ourselves with that other person, but God made you as an individual, so celebrate it!

Finally, Let go. Let go of your anger. Let go of your hurt. Letting go can be the most freeing decision you can make. If we never surrender at the end, we will miss a new beginning. It will hurt--alot! But it will hurt even more if you hold onto something so toxic to yourself. Let go and let God fill that hole in your heart.

Woman! Do you not see how wonderful you are?
