first broken heart...

Its one of the most things that I fear in life, to break my heart. Of course i know people wont want their hearts to be broken but there are events and things in our lives that happen for a reason and I believe they make us or break us. I broke my heart almost a year ago, it was somthing i chose to hide and I chose to keep to myself for I know announcing it would make it more harder to cope with. I cried in silence, alone in my room, in the stillness of the night, and there I felt God's hand comforting me, speaking to me, drying each tear from my eyes with His words. Only close people knew about it and I know they prayed for me, and I know it made the healing speedy.
Looking back, it still makes my tears fall and I cant stop them, im a better person, broken and healed by the loving hands of God.

A broken heart does mend with time. I have experienced several broken hearts over the years, but I know that they are preparing me for that one love which will outlast all others. When your heart is broken, you will learn from it and gain from it. eventually someone will come along who will fill that aching void left by others. The perfect love is not perfect, rather it is only perfect for you. Everyone has a different sense of what is perfect. But through experience you learn exactly what is perfect for you. This broken heart will teach you a little, and the next one will do the same. Do not cringe in fear from having your heart broken, but rather take heart in knowing that each broken heart you experience is bringing you one step closer to your true love. Rejoice in the moment evne while you experience the pain, for you will recover and you will move on. You cry, you rage, you hate, you laugh, you learn, you love. This is the way of life and the way of loving.

You are most welcome. Everyone deserves to receive the best from everyone else. At least that's the way I see it. I never want to be so detached from others that I cannot even raise their spirits with a word or two. Life is too short for me to not bring joy or even a little happiness to those around me.

I'm sorry your heart was broken - maybe I'm just too much a thinker to let myself get in that situation.
I was falling in love once, and I really wanted to know if he was interested in more or not. Even then, I had some red flags up about him, and I was right.
I didn't get my heart broken, tho it was bruised for a while, because I paid attention to those red flags and I didn't make the full "investment" of my heart into it. That and I kind of let him know that if he wasn't going to get vested into the relationship - neither was I.
We're still friends, he still says he really cares about me, but that commitment isn't there and even tho I still wish I could trust my heart to him, I know better and kept it to myself.

Its was not some other reasons that I broke my heart. It ws something we both agreed on and something that would give us room for more important things, things with eternal bearing, it was breaking our hearts for God, i know he too was hurt but im the one being so emotional about it. We are still good friends, best friends, but we have decided to wait on God.

Its rough, and I'm sure you are sick of hearing that you are young and have plenty of time. There is, however a whole lot of truth in it.
Honestly, at almost 55, I'm still waiting to find the right one - and I am willing to wait till the day I die because I just don't want to make that major a mistake when I can survive just fine with my heat intact.

Getting into a relationship is like a gamble. There is no assurance that you wont get hurt. What really matters is you learn something everytime you get hurt. I know for sure this experience of yours will make you strong. In time you will forget about the sad part and you will just laugh about it when you are completely over it. I know coz ive been there before. Every person had experience heartaches. The best thing you can do is learn from it and move on.

i had never understand how it feel to break someone heart until something drastic happened to me which changed my life. i learnt the feeling and misery, pain that goes along with breaking someone heart. and i never want to experience it again nor wish it happened to anyone i knew. my greatest regret is breaking the heart of my ex-wife. thinking back, i was really a heartless and cold-blooded to treat her that way. but life must go on and we must learn to be stronger after a heart break. learn from the experience to prepare yourself from experiencing it again.

it is great for you to have shared this with us here in mylot. you know, at some point, we all go through this things in life. i mean, we have to have our hearts broken, have to have felt happiness... i mean it is something we all have to deal it. it is alright not to broadcast it, it is actually better that only a few people close to you would know about it because there will always be comments from people...
i am just glad you are healed now... remember do not be afraid to love again...

Yes,, its only a fe people who know about it. When the newsbroke its not that sensational anymore since it was a long time ago andalmost a year now. hey wee just wondering coz i semed to have handled my emotions well that they were not able to notice that I broke my heart. of course I cried, lots of nights after the break up but its something I would want to keep for myself and its a very private matter to talk about, some knew just this week, they asked me about it but since its not that fresh anymore can just answer them casualy, coz if they asked me the day after the break up I know I would certainly burst into tears.
Have a nice day and take care my friend.

that is so sweet. i admire you specially on taking a back and giving yourself a chance to cry and chance to heal. i dont approve on a person who heal their hearts by getting to a relationship again even for all they know they are not emotionally read for a new one. but this is life.... we live we learn and through learning we can be ready to be in love and loved again but more sensitive about LOVE.

Yes, He is our healer, in every way..There is a verse, (I believe it is in Psalms, it is a verse I can never remember where it is located), where it says "The L♥rd is close to the brokenhearted" How true this is..

In all our pains and defeat in life, God's loving hands are always there ever ready to carry us through. You are just so blessed my Friend that eventhough you seemed to have fought a battle on your own, you still remember and recognized His boundless love and mercy. Be happy and enjoy life!

Life is colorful for it is full of various feelings, such as happyness, upset, worry and so on. Most of us can not escape from being broken. The more you pay your heart into it, the more painful you are. However, you will find yourself are more adamant after you have exprience something broke your heart. Perhaps it is not a bad thing.

i know how hard it is to be broken hearted.I too experienced that, but time will heal all those wounds. There would be times that you would cry and remember those time that you are together. But I tell you, there would be other men, better than him who would love you more and you would love more. Don't be afraid to love. Love always as if its your first.

Yes I think a broken heart is just a part of life, it happens to us all if we dare to live and i think if just simply means there is something else in store for you in the future, I am like you I lock myself away from people when i have a broken heart as well...someone new will come into your life and you will then see the sense of it all...

Hello te c",)
Sorry it took me so long to really believe that you are broken hearted. It doesn't really show kasi c",) I have a brave way of coping it...Imagine! it happened a year ago, but none of us noticed it, not even suspected it. I know you are very brave, and the way i see it... you are fine now. I'm sure you've surrendered your pain to God,and HE never fails because you have that great faith in you. I too have been broken and failed with love but God has ways to help me move on and He'd given me someone who's been taking care of my heart now way more than i do to his.lol!
God bless you and i know someday you'll have that someone to share your life forever, might be him (you know na...) or someone whom God chose for you.

Yes, I made it appear as if nothing happened to me. I dont want people to ask about the issue for I know they will never understand coz I know the reason for the break up might not be reason enough for them. I thank God for healing me, helping me moving on, He is all that I got.
Thank you for the comfort and for sharing here.
have a nice day and take care!

I have had many heart-broken experiences. I thought i will never have tears because all my tears have fallen. Now i am happy because i have a man who loves me so much, more than i love him. In the happy days, when i think of the past experiences, i don't feel heart-broken any more, i just reguard them as lessons. Thank God, he is fair, after i have suffered a lot, he makes me happy.
