Heartbreak: something so universal yet so uniquely individual.

There are songs and self-help books written about it.
There are cliche movies about picking yourself up from the floor and coming out even stronger.
Throughout all of these, there remains an important lesson: Eventually, you will get over it.
Everyone talks about overcoming heartbreak, but the acknowledgment of heartbreak seems to be missing.
You break up with someone who encompassed the majority of your day and you go back to being strangers.
You start to figure out how to be alone.
Its this process where heartbreak becomes bittersweet.
The truth behind it is that not everyone experiences it the same way.
However uniquely the process comes to you, the aftermath of heartbreak is not important.
Whats important is not rushing the process.
I never understood heartbreak until I went through it.
Its a process where you have to learn to forgive yourself and find yourself at the same time.
It by no means will pass quickly, and you will have more bad days than good ones sometimes.
But never view yourself as a failure for acknowledging your emotions and allowing yourself to feel them fully.
Stop focusing on the result and take it one day at a time.
Most importantly, do not compare your process to someone elses.
Its easy to feel discouraged when it seems as if its taking you longer than others.
Maybe your ex already moved on and you feel as if youre stuck.
