The moment right after a heartbreak, it feels like this feeling is going to swallow you up whole. Like it's going to remain with you forever, never allowing you once again to feel happy or excited about something. When someone hurts you, they break more than your heart. They break your confidence, your self-worth, your ability to believe and trust. And it truly feels like things will never change - but the thing is, nothing in life is permanent. Everything is fleeting, the good and the bad. One day, when you least expect it, you will smile at the idea of being in love once again. You will forgive and accept yourself. You will decide your worth and not allow anyone else to. You will meet people who will redefine what it means to make promises and keep them, to ask for your trust and honour it, to win your heart and protect it like it's their own.
