Heartbreak
When you first go through heartbreak, it feels like everything disappears.
All those moments that were once so joyful — laughing endlessly at silly jokes, going on dates and trips together, celebrating anniversaries, exchanging gifts, and feeling those sparkling emotions you never wanted to forget.
Thinking that all of it can suddenly vanish without a trace feels unbearably sad and lonely.
Right after a breakup, you can’t imagine loving someone else. And even if you did meet someone new, it feels impossible to build that kind of deep bond again from the beginning.
Even if you wanted to get back together, forcing it wouldn’t mean anything if your ex has already lost those feelings.
So you tell yourself that if you can’t go back, at least you want to wish them happiness instead of hating them.
You think things like:
“I’ll keep wishing for his happiness and health, even if I end up alone for the rest of my life.After all, he gave me so many wonderful memories.Because of him, I was able to experience real love.I’m grateful.I truly hope his life will be happy.”
Even though deep down, you’re actually devastated and heartbroken.
You might genuinely think poetic things like that for a few years.
But after enough time passes…
Wait.
WHAT???
He dumped ME???
And I’m supposed to care about that mediocre guy’s happiness and health??
Yeah… no.
I really, truly don’t care anymore. Not even a little.
Instead, I wish for my own happiness and health.
That’s it.
Humans are surprisingly resilient.
