be strong, be brave.

be strong, be brave. accept that some days will be harder than others. there will be days filled with tummy aches and heartaches and headaches. there will be days when things don’t go as planned. YOU will get through these days the best you can. just keep your chin up and your eyes focused on where you are going. believe in yourself, and dont ever let other people bring you down.

That moment when you can actually feel the pain

That moment when you can actually feel the pain in your chest from hearing something or seeing something that breaks your heart.

Why do we bother with relationships?

"Why do we bother with relationships? Neuropsychiatrists say that we are hardwired to crave intimate connections. We long for love. Of course the reality is it usually ends in heartache. Leaving our delicate psyches bruised if not completely shattered. Why do we even bother playing those odds? I guess because we only have to get it right once. And when it’s right, you know it. Even the memory of the fulfilling relationship can sustain us; and remind us that, although we may be down at this particular moment, we’re never truly alone."

Death and Love

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; 

love leaves a memory no one can steal.

the healing and the aching

When a friend is hurting

When a friend is hurting you can be there for them. But you can’t really make things better for them. Working through their heartaches, and dealing with the pain, is their work and their responsibility.

makes all the difference

Sometimes in life you just have to accept the way things are, when you can't change them. It's hard, but you''ll either learn to let go, or you'll get used to it altogether. At the end of the day, it's all the same heartache, but it's how you deal with it that makes all the difference. 

Do you know the most surprising thing about heartache?

Do you know the most surprising thing about heartache? It doesn’t actually kill you. Like a bullet to the heart, or a head-on car wreck, it should. When someone you’ve promised to cherish forever says, “I never loved you,” it should kill you instantly. You shouldn’t have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn’t know.

Do you ever miss me?

I mean truly, aching in the bottom-of-your-heart pain, 
which you just can't ignore?
Because that's how I feel. Every-single-day.

Do this go hand in hand?

no heartaches. no heartbreak.

the root of all heart aches

the only way to speak when nothing else works

not your heartached
