Alright guys this post is going to get a bit personal. I don’t know what it is about opening up to a ton of strangers over the internet that absolutely terrifies me, but here it goes lol. Just gonna ease slowly into being an open book.

Throughout life people are constantly going to be sharing their opinion or advice whether we ask for it or not. More often than not I choose to completely ignore peoples input on my life, and for the most part I’m usually glad I choose to do things my way.

With that being said, over the past year I have struggled with heartbreak for the first time in my life, and for the first time in my life all I wanted was for someone to tell me what to do. I wanted someone to give me advice on how to stop the pain. It was extremely hard for me to emotionally move on after falling in love. I pretty quickly began dating around and trying to move on, but emotionally I was not ready. I was deeply invested in someone that I needed to detach from. I couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that someone that had claimed their love for me was capable of being unloyal to me.

After two months of constant break downs and hurting, my grandma was talking to me about relationships, cheating, and loyalty. My grandparents have been married for 53 years, and although their relationship isn’t perfect, they continually to amaze me with their love and loyalty towards each other. I was telling her how hard it was for me to even think about being with a new guy because I was still in love. I told her that although the person I was dating claimed he loved me, that didn’t stop him from getting with multiple other girls, and to me, this didnt add up. I still wanted answers or closure. The answer was pretty simple.

My Grandma looked at me and said,

“Someone that loves you wouldn’t put themselves in a position to lose you.”

That hit me hard.

This goes for romantic relationships, friendships, as well as family. Since that day, I have had those words set as my screensaver. Those words are really powerful to me, and being reminded of that daily has helped me let go of that relationship and begin to heal and move on.

I hope my grandma’s advice helps one of our readers out there, cause it has definitely helped me pick up the pieces and move on. Heartbreak hurts, but its inevitable.
