I understand the questions and thoughts that carve into the emotional flesh leaving wounds deeper than the Mariana Trench. Questions and thoughts such as: Why did this happen? What did I do wrong? Why wasn’t I good enough? Why can’t I be happy? Maybe I should have been stronger emotionally. Maybe I should have a harden heart. Maybe I should have hated everyone all together. Trust me when I say that I am fully aware of the true darkest that arrives in the still of night. Owner Of A Broken Heart, I realize that you may not understand why this has happened to you and how desperately you desire happiness. However, if tears have met you on this day, know that it is okay to feel that way. Do not feel ashamed of hurting. You do not have to hide your pain. And know that hurt is far from being a form or sign of weakness. It merely shows that you are human and as a human we sometimes experience things that are unpleasant, unfair or both. Never allow yourself to feel low for simply feeling. At this very moment, I would love to have a magic formula to take the pain away and make everything alright right now. Unfortunately, I must ask for your forgiveness because I do not. It sucked for me as well. If I could offer you anything Owner Of A Broken Heart, it would be my understanding, my compassion, well wishes, and prayers. Above all Owner Of A Broken Heart, I would like to tell you, that you are far from being alone. During those moments in the middle of the night when you feel like the pain is unbearable, please know that I said a prayer for you. During times when you feel as if no one could know what you were going through, please know that I made a video to speak to you. During the moments when you feel like no one cares, please know that I sat down to write this letter to you. You see Owner Of A Broken Heart when I was praying for you, or speaking to you, or writing to you, I was also praying for, speaking, and writing to myself. I too was an Owner Of A Broken Heart. So, it is okay if you are not okay today. And it is more than okay if you are not okay tomorrow. Know it may take some time to heal completely but you will arrive in your time in your way. I will never proclaim to know all the answers regarding healing. However here are some things that aided in nurturing myself.
Remember that healing comes in different forms and different times. I don’t believe that time heals all wounds. However, I do believe that time gives us an opportunity to learn how to experience life differently after heartache. Respectfully, Laqwanda Originally Written 2015/Modified 2021
