RE: Poem from a Broken Heart No. 36
Thank you for this @spozone. Writing through it did the trick. I followed your advice on the lipstick Saturday night and met someone new. ?!?!? LOL. I was really not looking at all. Now trying to be cool because she's wow and I'm still spinning from the shock of connecting with someone when I was all set to just feel sad for a month or more. I guess a week and some intensive writing was enough. I'll keep that in mind for future heartbreak?
Glad to hear it. It's OK to be sad for a day or two after a loss. One of my most favorite instructors in college went on a rant one day and coined this phrase: Know that Love is a process, Not a destination. Brilliant! Sure we all have expectations but the language is important; him can a relationship "Go" anywhere? It's not a thing to possess, it can't get up and walk around, it is not a noun. It's a stretch to expand beyond expectations and accept the fact that a relationship is more like an adjective, or a verb, perhaps an adverb, but we tend to say it's not going this way or that. They do however, end or cease to be what we perceived them to be and off times that creates a certain degree of angst that is translated as pain. Love is such a fickle thing, so wrought with so many kinds of feelings and emotions. Celebrate it when it is in your arms, mourn for it in it's missing, but love yourself through it and all will be fine.
