Not a Life Lesson, But A Lesson About Life

All though I know true love I also know heartache. Both go together and you are bound to feel both at varying points in your life. Sometimes, you may feel both and they will alternate pulling back and forth at your heart strings. It is that that I believe can cause the biggest reality check. The last thing I expected was to feel both all the time, but sometimes that has to happen for life to sort itself out. In the end it always does; it may just take a little longer than any of us would prefer. To be quite honest I would do away with both extremes all together but we all know how that would end.  
 
This is not meant to be a poem, but a story with a practical ending. But, what is practical anymore? The right answer and best thing to do I suppose.  
 
Life has a way of kicking you in the butt unanticipated yet still it blames you for reacting in a certain way that is distasteful to other eyes and ears. Sometimes that's what love and heartache does.  
 
Heartache doesn't always have to do with a romantic relationship. Sometimes it can have everything to do with friends or family; that's often times when it stings the most. Sometimes love can cause just as much pain but we don't do anything about it except cry because we are afraid of losing the thing we have that we assumed was our own happiness but was just our own destruction. These are all words from experience.  
 
In the end, I have learned one thing; you can use love to help heal the would that heartache has created. Just listen to yourself and no one else and I believe it will all be okay in the end. Hopefully it will be for me too one day. Until then, one can only hope.
