Okay, I admit it. I am heartbroken. And probably dumped, but that I’m not sure about (the entire thing started with me not being able to get a hold of him, so I actually don’t know anything). This is what a friend wrote to me and that, inspite of how I’m feeling, made me feel a little bit better. I at least got to see that there is something behind the broken heart. Duh! Of course I knew that. I know that, but sometimes when you’re caught up in it you just need a friend to remind you.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!  IT’S REALLY NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!  TRY TO REMEMBER THIS!…  No matter how heartbroken or distressed you are or how much pain you’re in now, try to remember that, amazing as it may seem, THIS TOO SHALL PASS - - eventually.

You will not always be in this much pain and sorrow.  Time does have a way of healing us - though it can be hard to believe that when we’re in the midst of feeling so hurt.

REMEMBER, YOU’RE NOT ALONE.  Do remember that most people have been there.  Very few of us get out of adolesence without a number of stabs to the heart - and for some of us - those “stabs” were a frequent part of our young adult years.  So, you’re not alone.  It’s part of being a feeling, interacting human being to every once in a while get your heart broken.  Doesn’t make it hurt any less, mind you - but it gives you a bit of a philosophical view - in case that helps.

LEARN FROM THIS EXPERIENCE   That’s one thing you can get from even the worst experience - WHAT CAN I LEARN FROM THIS? A great rabbi once said, you can learn something from everything, meaning there’s no experience that can’t teach you something worthwhile.

Socialize - get out there - meet new people - make some new friends! It will feel good.  Of course it’s best not to expect to meet someone “dazzling” right away.  It truly does take time to meet someone special - but lay the ground work by getting out there and circulating - that’s usually a good thing for a human being to do, no matter what.

Isn’t this great. It made me fell all warm inside and, for a while, it made me feel better. I guess that’s what friends are for, right?
