... I don't feel sad or bitter over the loss of any of them. Even the one that just happened yesterday. I thought back to my earliest love that still felt the strongest of them all and I just thought about how grateful I am that I felt that way for him. Even though it didn't last.
Today I kept thinking about how lucky I have been to know my most recent heart-breaker and to love him the way that I did. I no longer feel sad like I have in the past. I am just happy to log away the memories we made into the journals of my life and will always have good feelings when I reflect on those times.
If I fall in love another 100 times and get my heartbroken at least half of that I will keep doing it over and over. In the land of heartbreak I have been able to find a peace that I didn't think could exist. I feel good.
Erin, you inspire me. Thank you for writing this. It is a great attitude to have. I am going to try and have this approach from now on. :) Thank you for your example.
