If you are going through a breakup,
I want you to know that you will get through this.
There is an infinitely large pile of proof for this.
The first is that while it really may not feel like it right now,
You are so,
So strong and capable.
You have had other setbacks in life that you overcame.
You have had other disappointments in life,
Starting at a very young age.
You coped with them and even forgot a lot of them.
There have been people who have let you down before.
Some of these wounds may not have fully healed yet,
But despite the hurt,
You persevered.
You have survived each one of your hardest days in life.
You will survive this too.
Remember,
Breakups are temporary setbacks.
Yes,
They can feel more like deep potholes than bumps in the road,
But they are still temporary.
The heart heals.
The body creates new memories.
The mind lets go.
The mind learns new ways of thinking.
We develop new beliefs and begin to see things differently.
Repeat after me.
This pain is temporary.
You will get through this because as painful as the breakup is,
It is for your highest good and therefore you will adjust.
Breakups always happen because they need to.
Relationships end because they aren't working in some way.
Your hurt heart will learn that it is safer and better cared for now and it will heal.
On the rational side,
We'll learn to kick back into gear and not only accept that the breakup is for the best,
But we'll learn to be thankful and see the many blessings that it provided you.
The next reason you can and will get through this is that humans are meant to evolve and grow and this heartbreak is part of that process for you.
Our life experiences shape who we are.
Trials are life lessons that make us stronger,
More able to help others,
More prepared to navigate challenges in the future,
More aware of our needs,
And on and on.
If you are hurting right now,
It means that this breakup is one of the many chances for growth that the universe will present to you in your life.
Do you know that there is another version of you that is ready to play a role in moving past this breakup?
I know that you will get through this because I know there is a future self that is waiting for you and even rooting you on.
These are the times in our life when we get the chance to show ourselves what we are made of.
It is a blessing in disguise.
And last,
You will get through this because simply put,
Humans are highly adaptable,
Resilient creatures.
We are designed to cope with change,
Deal with pain,
Learn new things,
Leave people in our past,
Form new relationships,
Cope with longing,
Adapt to new environments,
And so much more.
You will learn to accept that the breakup is for the best.
You will learn to enjoy your new reality.
Your pain will ease.
You will survive this and be stronger for it,
Just like humans have with their struggles for millions of years.
And while I know you will get through this,
How you get through it and what your life will look like once you do will depend on you and the goals you make regarding your healing.
Remember,
A breakup is an opportunity for a new beginning,
If you let it be.
