There will come a time when someone will break your heart. It will feel like one of the worst experiences in your life - as if they had reached into your chest and pulled out your still beating heart. Then stomped on it for a bit. You get the idea. But all is not lost, no. Life will go on and so must you. So some advice if you'd like: Rely on your friends, they will help you take your mind and your heart of the offender and the healing pieces of your heart and soul. Be kind and take your time. This is just one of those things that you can't fix immediately. Don't dwell on it, remember those sayings? "Plenty of fish in the sea", "it wasn't meant to be", "yadda yadda yadda". Listen to music and make playlists (if those still exist). It will get better, I promise.
And then there will be a time when you will break someone's heart. You will be the offender and do the same to someone else. Don't be reckless with other people's feelings. Remember the part above? Be responsible with feelings. Though sometimes try and try as we might, things don't add up and they don't turn out the way we want. All your efforts may be undone, but don't give up.
Remember this:
sonder
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
