People often wonder how they're supposed to keep going after heartbreak. It's easy, really. You just pick up the pieces, turn around, and walk on. The heart mends in time, and the cracks will be mere scars among others. It would be easier, perhaps, to lock that door and throw away the key forever. Less painful, certainly, in some ways; but I cannot house a rock in my chest. Not without effectively destroying myself. So the only thing I can do is weather the storms that would rip me apart and, later in life, laugh at how silly it all was while I scroll through old journal entries.
