On Love and Loss

I know it hurts right now. I know it feels like the world is crashing down around you. Breakups have a way of making everything else fade into the background, leaving you with this heavy, aching feeling in your chest. Whether it lasted a few months or several years, when a relationship ends, it can feel like a piece of you has been ripped away. That pain is real, and it’s valid.

Love has this way of becoming a part of you, doesn’t it? It’s not just about the person you were with; it’s about the dreams you had, the future you imagined together, and the little pieces of yourself you gave away. So when it ends, it’s like losing more than just a person. You’re grieving the loss of the life you thought you were going to live.

But here’s what I want you to remember: it’s okay to feel this way. It’s okay to grieve. You don’t have to rush to get over it, or pretend like you’re fine when you’re not. This pain is a part of the process. It’s your heart’s way of healing, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

Take it one day at a time, one moment at a time if you need to. Surround yourself with people who get it, who won’t rush you to move on but will just be there, holding space for you. And when you’re ready, start to let go, not because it didn’t matter, but because you matter more. You deserve to heal, to find peace, and to rediscover the parts of yourself that might feel lost right now.

This isn’t the end of your story. It’s just a painful chapter, one that will eventually lead to new beginnings, even if you can’t see them yet. Trust that healing will come, and that one day, the weight of this loss will be a little lighter, and your heart will feel a little freer.
