An Open Letter To The Broken Hearted

Dear Readers,

I write this open letter to you with a broken heart, but my strong will to survive this heartbreak. Our romantic lives are spent either in ecstasy or tearful nights. A few months ago my partner and I broke up and I thought my life was over. Like so many times before, I thought this heartbreak would never come; that we were the exception to the rule. I was wrong.

In the midst of my tears and the lonely nights, I decided that  I don’t want to feel this way again. So my plan is to stop dating and enjoy my 20s and I encourage you to do the same.

There is bliss knowing that my freedom is simply, MY freedom. My passions and desires are mine to explore and maybe it’s time that I figure out what exactly I want to do with my life.

I know sometimes the anger in my heart gets the best of me, but I stay calm because of my optimism to make it. I think the best thing a heartbroken individual can do is to stay calm, give it a few days and remind yourself that you’re still breathing without him.  If you were recently heartbroken, then you know what I am speaking of and I extend my sympathies to you.  These summer nights can be lonely, but they soon will pass.

Sincerely yours,

Cole P. Griffin
