INTROSPECTION
Some of us have waited all our lives to find someone to spend our time with, and some of us might have lost a loved one.
I have always wondered how to cope with the loss of a loved one. And I don’t mean death; I am talking about when we thought of a forever with someone and then the forever ended in the blink of an eye. I am talking about knowing someone to their core and then being strangers. I am talking about the ache that comes with losing someone to destiny, circumstances, the world, and life. I am talking about heartbreaks that come with love.
When someone falls in love, everything changes. I read somewhere that love is a “change of perspective,” and I agree. Why? Because love indeed changes one’s perspective. The way we look at the world is very different when we’re in love. It is all flowers, softness, colors, and blessings. You look at your loved one and see the light you have never seen before; you read something that touches your heart, and you can’t wait to reach out to that person to tell that it reminded you of them. You want to bring the world right in their feet, and then, if they walk away, if the center of your world walks away, you’re left empty-handed, and you might never be able to believe in blooming flowers again.
A heartbreak costs a lot. Even millions of stories are stories about heartbreak; they’re still less to comprehend what it does to a person exactly. A person loses someone they loved and with that the trust, belief, and strength to pick up the pieces of that shattered heart. Some of us stay unloved with the hope of being loved someday, and then we’re loved, break our hearts and go back to being
unloved, but this time, the hope is gone. The coping mechanism of a heartbreak involves losing all the belief in the existence of love, and when such people see others getting what they don’t have, it triggers them to a point where they might lose their self-worth.
Losing self-worth is possibly one of the most horrible things that can happen to a human. It takes away the passion of loving ones, which takes away our progress with ourselves. To grow and put ourselves out there in this brutal world demands courage, and how are we supposed to have courage when we aren’t open to acceptance and growth? When we we’re hopeless?
So this year, celebrate hope. Celebrate the hope which comes with love and allow yourself to bloom again.
