Forever was tattooed underneath your eyelids.
Love was etched on your heart, on your soul, and constantly lingering on your lips.
JS Daniel
And then one day the promise was changed.
The bubble was popped.
Forever was just a word in a dictionary, not even close to your reality.
And then your heart was shattered into a million pieces.
Whats there to do for a broken heart?
Some may say nothing, that time is the only thing that can heal.
Others will tell you a revenge body is the way to go.
Here are eight better alternatives:
1.
Every feeling, every emotion, every thought.
Write what your pain feels like.
Write about the love you miss.
Write all the words you never said, but wish you had.
Write all the things you wish you had known then, but know now.
Write it all down.
When you let the words out of your fingertips, your thoughts become real.
They stare back at you.
Its the beginning letting the sadness out of your soul, its a step towards healing, too.
Nows the time to dive back into the pool of possibilities.
Youll start to feel like yourself, too.
Something better, something stronger.
Travel.Whats one place youve always wanted to go?
You do not need to be babysat embark on that adventure on your own.
When you travel, your perspective of the world shifts.
When you travel, you become open to the possibility of what lies before you.
Read.Is there a to be read pile of books that is collecting dust on your shelf?
Its remarkable what can happen when you let yourself get lost within the pages of a book.
The words are good for your soul, and the characters are good company, too.
Go out to a restaurant alone.Yes, I said alone.
Its important that you begin to be able to stand on your own two feet.
Its important that you cultivate the relationship that you have with your own self.
It might feel weird at first, but thats ok.
If getting a table is too much, start by ordering a meal at the bar.
Order food that youve never tried before, and let yourself have a culinary adventure.
Develop your own palette in the kitchen, and then youll start to do it in life.
Cultivate the relationships that you do have.Are you still fortunate to have your parents living?
What about your grandparents?
Hows your relationship with your sibling(s)?
When was the last time you called your best friend?
Pick up the phone, and call them.
Or if you must, send them a text.
However you do it make plans to see the other people you love in person.
Work on your own strength and health.
Sometimes, heartbreak is a catalyst for a lack of self-care.
Revenge Body is a bogus term.
There are going to be days when you see something, and it will fire up the floodgates.
This is ok. Let the tears flow.
But do not let yourself live in that space of sorrow for too long.
Let them love on you.
Let yourself feel that love.
