| Heartbreak comes in many forms. I've never been rejected by someone I love, but I've felt it plenty of times. I felt it when my best friend died just a month after his 20th birthday, of internal bleeding caused by meningitis. I felt it again when another, even younger friend was brutally murdered by his brother, with a hammer. I felt it when I severed a very long and valuable relationship, because it seemed the only way I could keep her happy was by lying. Life never waits for you to recouperate. I miss them all very much, but I try not to dwell. Still, every once in a while there is a little reminder, and it always comes with a sigh and a knot in my chest.
We can all continue our lives. Don't put it all behind you if you don't want to, but don't let it block your way. |
