When You Miss Them But You Know You Should Forget Them

Your heart is fractured, but it's still valuable.
Rania Naim
November 25, 2016
“Broken hearts — if used wisely and compassionately — are absolutely necessary for spreading the fire of love.See, when your heart breaks open, all the love that has been hidden and buried within it for years has the opportunity to now spill forth — and to cover everyone around you with love...and also to spread itself across the world, in wave after wave of love and grace and humanity.”
— Elizabeth Gilbert, DISCOVERING FIRE FOR THE SECOND TIME...

“I wonder if I’ll keep trying to fix all the people who are already unfixable. I wonder if I’ll keep cutting myself trying to put their shattered pieces together. I wonder if I’ll ever learn that they won’t stop me from bleeding when they are the ones who keep slashing my veins.”

“Our hearts will break – time and time and time again – over the course of our feeble existences. But they never break irreparably. They never shatter in ways we can’t fix. Our hearts are stronger than all of the things that ever break them, if we give them permission to be.”
