If you've ever taken a shower to muffle your sobs,
I'm sorry and I love you.
If you've ever eaten alone in a bathroom stall,
I'm sorry and I love you.
If you've ever used makeup to conceal evidence of pain,
I'm sorry and I love you.
If you ever looked in a mirror and wanted to change what you saw,
I'm sorry and I love you
If you ever questioned your worth because of someone else,
I'm sorry and I love you.
You're not alone and don't deserve the hurt you've experienced,
You are good enough- more than good enough,
You are valid,
you have meaning,
you are loved even when you don't know it.
Getting your heart broken is never the worst part, it's the aftermath that kills you. It's waking up and going to text them, only to realize you no longer can. It's watching them love someone else and of course, you want them to be happy, you just wish it was with you. It's hearing them talk about someone else and having to smile and laugh all the while you are choking back sobs. It's not just missing the person, but missing having someone to talk about your day to, having someone to comfort you when days are too hard.
Because now these days are every day and you are left crying on the bathroom floor with no one to turn to. Getting your heart broken is always hard, but the worst part is the day after.

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.

Your words capture the raw emotions and struggles that come with heartbreak, the moments of despair hidden behind closed doors. It's a testament to the strength it takes to face each day, to confront the longing and the absence. Know that you are not alone in this journey. You are deserving of love and happiness. May your days become brighter, and may you find solace and comfort in knowing that you are loved.
