What an interesting question. Can a broken heart ever return to its original form? Before we begin, I believe we should first define heartbreak so we’re all on the same page.
heartbreak (noun): crushing grief, anguish, or distress
Heartbreak is the deep emotional suffering that occurs when love, connection, or the hope of a meaningful relationship is lost or cannot be fulfilled.
So, I underlined “deep emotional suffering” because I think some people tend to dismiss the emotional pain of a broken heart. While some people can brush off the pain of a broken relationship, others cannot. It is a deep emotional connection that causes suffering. Not just a small bit of discomfort.
Do I think that a broken heart can ever return to its original form? I do not. I think that each heart break creates its own little bit of damage that we must all heal from. It changes us all a little bit. We grow. We learn. Or. I should say we SHOULD be learning from our half of our mistakes or shortcomings or things we should have been more keen to have been looking out for to avoid. There is always something to be learned. You are not always the victim and you are not always the villain. A relationship is two people and usually there are mistakes on both ends (this statement does NOT speak for abusive relationships).
I don’t think you want your heart to return to its original form. Wouldn’t that mean you would be subject to making the same mistakes over and over again? This is why I was adamant about us, dear readers, about being on the same page about heartbreak. If your heart was to return to its original form, wouldn’t you suffer heartbreak the same each time? Would you want that for yourself?
What do you think? Do you think a broken heart can return to its original form? Would you want it to?
