Rec | GETTING YOUR HEARTBROKEN

💔

i think that heartbreak is one of the most (if not THE most) human experiences of all time. it hurts so bad but also hurts so strangely good in a “i feel so alive rn and i love so much” type of way. through all of the vivid and gut-wrenching emotions, it forces you to grow so fucking much both maturity-wise and identity-wise. so yeah, heartbreak is tonights rec

I just went through this.. partner of 4 years just didn‘t see the vision for the future anymore. It hurts, but I don’t want to love anyone who doesn’t want to be loved by me/doesn’t love me the same way. The heartbreak makes me feel alive in the same way as when I stub my toe, or miss the train just by a second. A little moment in between the wonderful parts that reminds you that it’s all temporary, but beautiful. So I laugh, and cry, and

i experienced my first ever heartbreak at the beginning of this year, three days after my birthday. it nearly killed me, but it was absolutely necessary. coming out on the other side of it, i feel stronger. i feel more human than ever- knowing that i can love so much.

i agree with you so hard, I think I feel sad to be heartbroken but I also know I wouldn’t have learned the things I did if I hadn’t been heartbroken

i’m feeling this so crazy rn i’ve been missing my ex bf who was my bestfriend for 2 years before we started dating and through this process i think i’ve been learning to have my own identity and feel my own feelings without having him there all the time it’s so painful but also so exhilarating

@KILLCHARLIE sorry to hear that ❤️ but exhilarating is the word!! when i was in the shits i would give anything to be OUT of it but now i weirdly miss having so much emotion at once. when it was really hard i reminded myself that if i can feel this much in someones absence, then there is the equal opportunity for me to feel this much in the presence of someone new.

@KILLCHARLIE exactly!! and it’s so peaceful & powerful to feel your emotions as your own too and to be content in your solitude

@lyssa

@RATTLESNAKE more like reminiscing over a breakup which is why it’s so easy for me to talk about it lol. do i miss going to bed at 3pm because i was sad? no. do i think it fundamentally changed me as a person and made me smarter and hotter? absolutely yes. it’s never gonna NOT suck but feeling is a beautiful thing… but i can only say that cuz im 100% recovered. u got this soldier 🫡

feeling so many feelings at once

I just got broken up with there’s a straNge kind of beauty in this sadness. not tHe kind anyone would wish for, but the kind that makes you rEalize you’re alive in the deepest way. it’s raw — and somewhere beneath it, i admire myself for feeling it. for not turning away. for staying soft, even as something inSide me breaks. it’s not freeing. it’s not relief. it just is. this matters. this was real. i feel everything, and though it weiGhs me down, there’s a strAnge moment where i see myself clearly in the sorrOw. so alive in my sadness. so real.

to feel

i wish we could meet irl and distract from our broken hearts a little bit by doing things together and hug. im experiencing the same thing rn (devastating and out of the blue) and it helps me write down everything, every thought, word, idea, emotion that i feel i need to write it down. i’ve seen my friends every day, i’ve watched movies, i’ve read a lot. i know it feels like it’s not going to get better but i promise it will. is reminding yourself that everything passes, let all the emotions pass through you. it’s reminding yourself that -new and goods things are coming to you- though i know it’s really hard and painful to think abt yourself in a future where that person is no longer there. :-( i understand how painful time passes, how painful it is to think about that person and all the attached memories, but it’s time to think about all the new memories YOU are going to create, that life is painful but not that much, it’s time to cry it all, and to get things done. little by little, days pass and the pain will start to fade away, sometimes you’ll be alright, sometimes you won’t, but is all part of the process. i’m sorry you are experiencing that horrible thing called heartbreak, i hug u wherever you are. 🫂

space, music, journaling, hobbies

for me it has been helpful to frame it as getting through heartbreak rather than over - i’ve felt it is more of a journey rather than having an identifiable threshold or fixed point of being “over” the person. so - these are my main recommendations for things to do to get through the heartbreak: this isn’t true for everyone, but for me and most people i know, one of the worst things for processing is being around the person a bit right after—it‘s like making your emotional process and brain not be on the same page—so space is probably the #1 thing i recommend as being useful to fully processing that you’re not together romantically. music (also films/shows too) can help you feel seen and understood—heartbreak is a unique type of hurt. i have like 3-4 playlists from different heartbreaks i have been thru lol! journaling, to process your emotions solo, though sometimes adding a therapist is needed! hobbies (solo or with friends) so you can find ways to do positive & engaging things in your increased spare time! spend some extra time being in love with yourself. ❤️‍🩹 source: my personal misfortunes, trials, & tribulations in love
