How to Mend a Broken Heart?

As human, one of the greatest gift life can give is to love. Fall in love, fall deeply in love, falling in love, and lastly fell in love. 

Break-ups are nasty,

it makes you stay awake at nights, it makes foods don't have a taste, it makes you feel like it's impossible to believe anymore, to fall in love once again. 

I am 21 years old, and this wasn't my first relationship. I have loved others before, but this one, it was special. I loved this person with all my heart. Foolish enough to think that it would last forever. When I fell in love, like John Green said in one of his novels, I fell slowly and then all at once. Yes, it was all at once. I really gave my heart completely. 

But at one point I realized, that this won't end as a happy ending. First of all, it was a long distance relationship, and let me tell you, it's a bitch. I have fell into its trap for some times now and I really not willing to try again. Don't get me wrong, some people can nail it, but maybe.. not me. And it's not because I cannot bear the coldness of internet, but the fear of losing hope. 

It happened, and unfortnately, it wasn't me, it was my partner who lost the hope. I appreciate her honesty, but man.. How hurt it made me feel. How. Hurt. This happens when a person you love broke your trust: at first it feels so hurt, you can feel nothing but sadness, drowning in sadness, until you learn to swim on it, but to swim on the sadness in order overcome it, you would feel nothing, your heart is empty. And the worst is.. You don't know when you could trust someone again. Trust that whole new person your imperfect heart. 

But you know what?

This is life. This is the life we live and we should celebrate it. Even the hardest parts of it.. Break-ups, failures, even death, we celebrate with mourning, grieving, sleepless nights and as many tasteless foods possible. 

And then we rise. 

We rise. Because life is going on,
