The author describes their own experience with a break up, where their boyfriend ended the relationship without explanation, which was especially hard on their birthday.

1. Healed Heart
Breaking up is never fun. The end of a relationship means the beginning of a period of mourning and
healing for both people. If the break up was mutual, both people will experience a period of adjustment where
they are getting used to no longer being together. If the break up was not mutual, the person who ended things
may be dealing with guilt and feelings that s/he may have made a mistake. The person being broken up with
will definitely have to adjust, first to being rejected and second to life without somebody s/he still care for. Let
me share with you a story of mine on how my heart was healed from being torn apart.
It was 1st
day of May when he decided to end up our relationship. He never gave me at least a single
reason but rather he left me with nothing to say. I was not able to cry at that moment because I can’t really
absorbed the words that marked on my heart. I tried to disagree with him but he wanted it badly. I have done
nothing but to let him go.
May 6 was supposed to be our first anniversary and my 18th
birthday at the same time, but it seems to
be just an ordinary day. It was the day when I engrossed the pains and felt like I was rejected then. I cried
because it really hurts. The fact that he left me with no reason made it more difficult to accept. It is good
enough if he said that he loved somebody else or he didn’t love me anymore. My mind was like a mess. I don’t
know what to do and how to fix myself from being unwanted because in the first place I never thought our
relationship would end that way.
I didn’t want to talk to anyone that day but these concerned friends never stopped until I get up and
get out of our house. They surprised me and made me smile though they knew what I’m going through. It was
6:00pm when we decided to go to the park and we played like we’re kids. We never realized that it was almost
near 11:00pm and a guy in a motorcycle approached us. He told us that we need to go home because it was
already late in the evening. As we were heading home, we decided to continue to play near the church when
we heard sound of a motorcycle. We thought that it was the guy who approached us so we ran fast because we
might be caught until we realized that it was not that guy. We’re like prisoners who were running away from
the cops. What a nice experience! Since we really didn’t want to go home yet, we played football near the
church until we get tired. It was 1:00am when we decided to go home. Before we bade goodbye to each other,
they hugged me and I thanked them for making my day such that great.
I ended that special day with a prayer. I thanked God for all the blessings he showered to us and for
not letting me sad all day. I also thanked Him for giving me such wonderful people who love me
unconditionally, my family and my friends. I realized that breaking up is learning as well. I learned that I
should love more myself than anybody else. That I should not be too attached to someone so that letting go
will not be that complicated. It was refreshing to know that there were people who wanted to make me happy
all the time though I’m mean to them sometimes. I just didn’t notice it because maybe my time was just
focused to the one that I love. But, it will never happen again because I already learned my lessons. I also
realized that you’ll only feel the real happiness when you learn how to accept it, forgive, be contented of what
you have right now and give value to those little things that God have provided.
After the prayer, I didn’t notice that tears were falling but it was tears of joy because at that time my
heart was relieved and filled with happiness again. I know that it takes time to move on but tomorrow is
another day, a day full of positivity, love, hope and peace of mind.
