that heartbreak saved me. it hurt more than i can explain, but it opened my eyes to things i kept ignoring. it showed me who was truly there for me and who wasn't. it taught me not to lose myself trying to keep someone who wasn't meant to stay. at the time, i thought it was the end of everything, but looking back, it was the beginning of finding myself again. it forced me to grow, heal, and become stronger than i ever thought i could be. sometimes the pain that breaks you is the same pain that leads you back to yourself.
