Why Heartbreaks are Actually a Good Thing- Ava Mazzarella

At first look, being heartbroken has nothing but negative energy surrounding it. I would not wish being heartbroken on my worst enemies, as it truly does suck. Losing someone you love can leave deep scars that take a long time to heal. For some, they will never heal. Despite all of this, heartbreaks will change everybody that goes through them, and there could be more positive changes than negative changes to this. 

For one, it can teach you not to place all your eggs into one basket. When in a relationship, some people can rely too much on one person for too much in their lives. When that relationship ends, you will learn that counting only on one person for too much can result in nothing but the worst. And going forward, those who experience this will learn to be more careful when falling in love.

Being hearbroken can teach us who our real friends are and how important those friends are. The friends who will help you heal in times of need are the ones worth keeping forever. Especially during a part of life where the person who you gave your everything to isn't there. True friends will stick by your side, no matter what. And when realizing their loyalty, you come to appreaciate it and learn to prioritize them the same. 

Learning independence is a repeating theme when going through a breakup or heartbreak. Learning to do life independently after a long time of having a partner will be a new way of living, but there a tons of benefits to this. Inner strength that's never been known before can come out of this, and you're finally forced to figure out who you truly are. 

When all is said and done and the tears are shed, you realize that you are truly so powerful. To come out of a hard, heartbreaking situation is an accomplishment. Heartbreak might not be a physical wound, but it can feel like one sometimes. This newfound strength is the strength that will carry you through the rest of your life, now that you realize that pain is temporary.
