Your Heart Didn't Break; It Awakened
Briefly

Hearts don't break—they stretch. They stretch to make room for new love, corrective love, with new insights and new ways of being. The pain you feel is not a sign of weakness; it's a signal that you're in the process of expanding your capacity to love and live more authentically.
Breakups force you to shed the old habits, old stories, and old patterns. They dismantle the false beliefs you clung to, revealing a clearer version of yourself, one that's ready to rebuild—not from desperation, but from intention.
Many of us never fully process our breakups. We move on, but we don't move through, carrying unresolved pain into our next relationships, letting the past color our present.
A breakup isn't just an ending—it’s an opportunity for reinvention. It's a chance to pause, take stock, and ask the hard questions about who we are and what we want.
