“When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew”
William Shakespeare
Love – a powerful and deep feeling of affection. You all have felt this feeling. The love of your friends, your family and a special someone in your lives. It is a feeling which is hard to explain. Many of you find it difficult to express it. Some of you express it in words while others express it through gestures.
You believe that the time you fall in love is like the precious time of your lives. You simply float and there is background music playing in your minds. The world suddenly seems beautiful and you can’t stop smiling. Some of you might not even have shared your secret with your friends or family. You hide it from your mom and dad. While the daring ones, share it with the world.
“People are weird. When we find someone with that weirdness that is compatible with ours, we team up and call it love”
Dr. Seuss
When you are in love, you do face hardships too. You get scolded very often from your parents and you are not allowed to meet your special someone that often. To feel free in your relationship you take certain actions. You protect your loved one and struggle for him/her.
But, life is not a fairy tale!
Our hearts do get broken and we fall out of love. The pain you feel at that time is unimaginable. You feel no one will understand what you are going through. Your heart aches and you feel very heavy inside. Nothing feels right around you.
Do you question God as to why did you had to go through a break-up? Why did God do this? or How will you live without him/her? You listen to sad songs, focus on the lyrics and not the music. You want to be left alone, therefore, you avoid your friends, family, and get-togethers. Suddenly, the world seems unfair. Seeing your friends getting married, makes you crazy. At this point in time, whoever tries to comfort you, you rebel.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and gulp it. Here are some words of advice for you. Hang in there & stay strong.
“Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option”
Maya Angelou
- You are not alone in this, it is natural and It is OK to fall out of LOVE.
- Don’t please your ex and learn to say NO. And delete him/her from all the social media platforms you were on.
- Don’t waste time and do it right away.
- Loneliness will follow you everywhere. But you are brave enough and you will survive it.
- Try and reconnect with yourself again. Think of all the things that were in your bucket list which you couldn’t do before.
- Indulging yourself into bad habits is not a healthy option. Instead connect with your loved ones, your family and friends.
- Most of us have had a broken heart at some point in time in our lives. But that doesn’t mean that our life is over.
- You might feel lost in the beginning, but later on, you will be ok and realize that whatever happened, happened for the good.
- Move on and forgive yourself. Everything that happens is not your fault.
- Do not carry the emotional baggage with you. Include simple exercises of letting go to have a healthy life. Sometimes letting go of the one you love will teach you various lessons.
- Enjoy the time you got and do not focus on the word break-up. People who knew about this will ask you and pity you.
- Try and spend all your negative energy into doing something constructive.
- Get a good night sleep and do not eat midnight snacks if you feel sad.
- You are loved, protected and you will go through this day.
- You have absolutely no clue, that the person who awaits you will be made for you. He/she will love you as you have never felt before.
It is so rightly said,
“Sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can fall together”
