I Am Not Broken, I Am Just Rebuilding Myself

When someone breaks your heart, it feels like your whole world is ending. One day you are happy, and the next you don’t recognize the person looking back at you in the mirror. Depressed and broken.

Heart break knocks you down and breaks you into a million pieces until there is nothing left of you. Your self-confidence is gone. Your happiness is stolen and you can never trust again. But you can’t let heartbreak define you. Don’t let someone that was too stupid to see how amazing you are define your worth.

Go back out there and try again. This heartache isn’t permanent, don’t let it control your happiness. This heart break will end. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but someday. I need you to remember that, even on the long nights when your only comfort is a tear-soaked pillow. Know that you'll be able to make it through.

You have to get over him though, you need to WANT to heal. Just remember the happiness you felt before he broke you. Remember back in the day when you found sunshine on the cloudiest days. When you happiness didn’t depend on him. Bring that light back into your life, control you own happiness and your own future.

Your heart needs time to heal, but you can’t close your heart off forever. You deserve to be loved, he just wasn’t the right one and treated you so much less than you deserved. The man of your dreams is still out there. One day, all this pain will disappear but only if you can find the strength to give love another chance.

Don’t wait around for price charming to come break down the walls you built up from being broken, break those walls down yourself. You can’t just wait around for someone to come alone and repair everything he broke. Be strong enough to repair yourself. You owe it to yourself, that hurting girl inside of you deserves a change.

The pain from this heartbreak should be used as motivation to overcome all of it on a journey to find better. If a glass is broken, you can’t just put a Band-Aid on it. You need to fully repair so there are no problems later on.

Start rebuilding yourself from the ground up. I know it might be intimidating because right now you feel like your whole life is wrecked, but it will be liberating when you finally see how this could change your life for the better. This heartache can make you stronger.

Tear down the old and make room for the new. Life might be a little messy right now, but one day it will be beautiful. You will be happy and stronger than ever. It may not be easy right now, but one day it will be worth it.
