Journey of a certain heartbreak
To some, it’s trudging down the Sahara Desert alone with no water. To some, it’s the pain of plucking out the torn feathers from their wings. To some, it’s a matter of surviving the deep sea bottom. Not all heartbreaks are the same. Analogy after analogy, so many renditions of heartbreaks have been told but not all of them heard. Every experience is different and unique to the individual, which makes every song, book and film different.1 There is of course, no one person who can understand the pain of each and every whole of a heartbreak there is, it all lies in the bits and pieces of someone else’s story that we see ourselves in, and it’s in those moments, we find solace. So here I am today, sharing the journey of my own heartbreak. It may not be as dramatic or angsty as any romantic drama, but to me it’s the most beautiful yet painful journey I’ve been through. Plus, if my bits and pieces can lift the pain off someone’s heart today, bring a smile to their faces, then it’s a story worth telling. 1. “Each person’s heart breaks in it’s own way, every cure will be different, but there are some things we all need. Before anything else, we need to feel safe.” - Erica Bauermeister
