heart·break (n) - overwhelming distress. The absolute worst feeling in the entire world. When one is heartbroken they may actually feel such an intense pain they don't even want to live anymore. 

Going online on Facebook is merely the only way to catch up with my old friends’ lives at the moment. Me being busy and all with work and stuff, I only get to go and meet up with my closest-close friends. Surprisingly though, it caught my attention that almost (well not all of them actually) had their own fair share of failed relationships with the ones we thought were the “ones”. I can clearly remember myself with a friend saying, “Hey they look so cute together! No wonder if one day they will announce their wedding date already!” Then poof ! That 8 year relationship ended with just a snap.

You can never really tell how you are going to end up with someone, same as you cannot  tell how and when a relationship is going to last. I became a witness of my best friend’s once precious 9-year relationship with a guy (yes there is no need for his name to be stated here) and just ended before you can finish saying “cheat your heart out”. Well, did I give away the reason why their relationship ended? Oh, did I really? I’m so sorry for my drastic move there.

Love – I was once a victim of this murderer. Y’all can say that trouble, love’s long lost cousin is in fact a friend of mine. Oh what I would give just to bring back just one yesterday with all those memories. – Yep, NOTHING.

I can still remember those exact feelings of being brokenhearted and I would not spare words just to describe them. Me being single now is a choice and I am happy with it. No muss, no fuss. I know the love of my life is just out there, as what my best friend always tell me, “he’s just caught in a heavy traffic”. The day when we finally will meet, I will be ready. I will stare him straight right in both eyes and say “I knew it was you all along!”

So you know what I would tell all my friends out there? Stay. Single. Just kidding! I want them all to experience the bright side of this ‘thing’ as well. But I want them to guard their hearts. Might as well study it first. Know its depth and limitation. Know the boundary of that love that you can give out to someone without hurting yourself in doing so. Get to know that other heart as well that you plan to give out half of you into. Will he really deserve it? One way or another you will have yourself patched up after a broken heart but you have to know how to get back to the start, to the beginning where none of this had ever existed yet. And learn to fall in love – again.
