Ive broken my own heart more times than I can count.
Im finally starting to pick up the pieces, though.
Im finally learning the right way to let go and move forward.

Maybe youve experienced some of these too.
(At least I hope so.
Otherwise, this article will be wildly unhelpful to you!
I apologize in advance if thats the case.)
Below are three ways you break your own heart (and some tips to help you move forward).
Repeatedly explaining yourself to someone who is committed to misunderstanding you.
So you increase the volume.
You might even dream up some kind of metaphor you think will finally make them understand.But they wont.
you better accept that nothing you say or do will matter.
Their mind is already made up about you.
They really, really,REALLYdont.
Let this empower you, though.
Theres nothing left to do if there is nothing to save, right?
Let your last sentence be that, your last, and walk away.
You are not too much to handle.
That isnt the lesson here.
Theres nothing needy about you, youre simply knocking on the wrong door.
Loving someone in hopes it will make them love you back.
There is someone out there more aligned with who you are and who you will grow to be.
Let them find you by letting go of what will never be.
Distracting yourself from your one life, rather than truly living it.
This is your life, your single chance at being human.
Whatever the case, its time to wake up.
And yes, being human can be heartbreaking, this is a fact, but its also beautiful.
And frankly, its also all we really have.
So, why not make the most of it all?
Why not enjoy it and feel it and live all your years completely?
Lean into lifes discomfort, embrace its joy, and cling to happiness when it finds you.
This is being human.
Moving forward, I hope you choose yourself.
I hope you stop breaking your own heart.
