Even if you are strong and independent, going through a breakup is going to suck.

Its going to hurt like hell.

Its going to turn you into a puddle of mascara.

Even When You’re Strong And Independent, Breakups Hurt Like Hell

Toa Heftiba

You have to remember, your pain isnt something you should be embarrassed about admitting.

Your heartache doesnt make you weak.

In fact, being open and honest about what you are going through takes a certain level of strength.

Its hard to accept that someone you hoped would stick around forever has suddenly disappeared from your universe.

Its hard to get used to your new normal.

Your tears dont mean that you cant survive on your own.

They dont mean youve given up on the idea of happiness.

They dont mean that you arent capable of making it through this period of your life.

You shouldnt feel silly about caring, about crying, about experiencing disappointment.

If you had high hopes for this relationship, its only natural for you to mourn its end.

You dont have to put on a brave face right now.

If youre upset, youre allowed to admit it.

Youre allowed to have emotions.

Youre allowed to miss someone who meant the world to you.

Dont pretend things are okay when youre struggling.
