Yeah, bud. The heart doesn’t just magically fix itself. It needs time to heal after it’s been injured, like everything else. You wouldn’t go out and play basketball on a broken foot. But you know you’ll play again when it heals. Give your heart the same respect.

I've had a hard life but keep comparing myself to others and feel terrible about myself. Any way to fix that?

You know how sometimes a broken bone isn't set right? That's how I feel, 8 years later.

you just broke the seal, not the heart. You get to play now, the worst is over! I will never love the same as when I did the first time but it doesn't hurt so bad now. I'm more in control, this time around.
