Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you\u2019ll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you\u2019ll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room. Cheryl Strayed<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do you know the worst part about being an adult? Having to pretend you\u2019re fine when you\u2019re totally not fine. Having to show up and smile, carry on with the everyday normalcies of life when inside you\u2019re suffering is just plain cruel. \u201cNo, I don\u2019t want cracked pepper on my salad? Can you tell I\u2019m heartbroken? Leave me alone!\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anyone on earth who can\u2019t relate to this \u2013 and I mean the quiet misery, not the pushy waitstaff. What is life if not a series of sorrows (and triumphs), and how do we endure them?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a place inside all of us where our deepest hopes and fears dwell.<\/p>\n

It takes a lot of trust to reveal this part of you to a partner, shining warm sunlight on a piece of you kept in the dark. Here in a space of true exposure is where deep and profound love<\/a> begins. But when the person who promised to share your life with tells you he doesn\u2019t love you anymore, it should kill you instantly, a mortal betrayal. But instead, we\u2019re left wounded, with a cracked-open heart, empty and exposed, a forced vulnerability.<\/p>\n

How do we even begin to recover from something like that? How do you heal a broken heart?<\/p>\n

\"heartbreak\"<\/p>\n

In the beginning, you might feel like a shattered shell of a person; a ghost resigned to walk among the living. You go through the movements of life without purpose. One foot in front of the other, you\u2019ll get there, wherever \u201cthere\u201d is. And honestly, why is heartbreak so damn exhausting? I\u2019ve never napped more!<\/p>\n

But time carries on, and I suppose you begin to heal; the pain isn\u2019t there all the time, sometimes you forget. Sometimes you even laugh! But then you remember again, and it\u2019s awful. Waking up to the stark reality of your situation is the worst. I thought I was not too fond of mornings before, but now I truly despise them.<\/p>\n

Rambling with no idea what my point is might be my forte. No idea where I\u2019m going with this; I suppose that I\u2019m trying so hard not to fall into despair. But I\u2019m tired. I\u2019m tired of hurting. I\u2019m tired of grief<\/a>. I\u2019m tired of living out of a bag. I\u2019m tired of being alone. I\u2019m tired of saying, \u201cyeah, I\u2019m fine.\u201d I\u2019m tired of COVID<\/a> and anti-vaxxers and not being able to sleep and Christmas decorations and why the last $3 avocado I bought seemed perfect on the outside but was rotten on the inside. Everything is, I don\u2019t know, exhausting.<\/p>\n

Every season of mehs and yawns will end, but it doesn\u2019t make me feel any better to write that. Trying to sit with the pain and feel the emotions of a personal tragedy is hard. But sit with it I will because I\u2019m determined that, if anything, I will come out of this a better person. I must.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sharing my own current raw and fractured heart on here not for any sympathy or compassion (please don\u2019t), but because I want you guys, all of you, to know you\u2019re not alone, in both heartbreak (which we are all called to endure at some point and in some way in our lives) and also in having to hold yourself together when you really don\u2019t want to. Instagram is a goddamn theater \u2013 let\u2019s not pretend or perform.<\/p>\n

Heartbreak is horrible. Life doesn\u2019t go always go to plan. And being an adult sucks sometimes.<\/p>\n

By the way, I\u2019m fucking single.<\/p>\n

Who else is currently enduring heartbreak? Please don\u2019t let it just be me.<\/em><\/p>\n
