OK, heart breaks are often equated with teenage trivial issues. But this is where a lot of people are wrong. The pain of a heart break can only be understood by those who have actually gone through it or are going through it. At that point, the magnitude of it cannot be described as triviality.

I was one of those skeptics, who always dismissed off heart breaks as one of those silly things. Through out school and college life, my advice to friends going through break ups would be "There are many fish in the sea". This was probably because I had never been through a similar situation myself. We learn, only when we experience. There can be no greater teacher than experience.

It was only when I found myself in such a situation, at the ripe old age of 27 (pardon me here, but I always thought heartaches were childish stuff, so 27 is ripe old for that) that I understood how truly devastating a heart break can actually be. Yes, I had my heart broken…and all the silly advices that I would give to my friends in teenage years felt like mockery. I could finally comprehend the depth of this one word. It was literally as if my life felt as if it was over. There was a real physical pain in my heart. yes, I swear I could literally feel my heart pain. I would get up in the morning and think why I had woken up. All day, I would just sit and stare in air, lost in my own thoughts. I became a complete wreck. My friends couldn’t recognize me. This depression and emotional upheaval went on for one whole year.

I never thought I could ever get out of it. It was the pits. But everyone told me that I would eventually come out of it, because time is the greatest healer. I never really did believe this.

But now, with another year going by I am happy to say that I am finally out of that phase. Yes, it took a lot of counseling, pep talks, enrolling in activities etc to get over that. But what I want to say to all the people, nursing a broken heart, is that I can totally relate to you and your pain. I know what you are going through. But you too, like me, will get over it one day however unbelievable it sounds. This is what my experience has taught me. You too, will leave this tough phase behind. It is just a matter of time. Have faith!
And finally before I go, a bit of exciting news for you all, I have decided it was about time to just get it over with and book the appointment to get that tattoo that I had gotten when I was a teenager removed. It has been annoying me for far too long, evidently I have grown out of that whole defiant stage now. However, I was looking on the page for laser tattoo removal brentwood and I don’t actually know if it will look better afterwards, some of the photos are a little bit questionable! What do you guys think is more shotty, a chinese symbol or a faint outline of one
