Do you know what's really bad for your heart? All those mini heartbreaks.

Like that moment you realize a relationship or a friendship is ending. You realize how slowly it's dying without drama, without fights. And eventually it's just silence.

Or all those moments you realized that person wasn't "the one". All those moments combined. They accumulate. 

What about that moment you remember something that used to matter to you? A dream or an object or a hobby. You wonder how you forgot about it. You remember what it made you feel, what it meant to you, but it's just a memory and the feelings are impossible to revive.

Or the very, very sad moment, you realize you have nothing to say to someone you used to talk to a lot.

I don't know man, these mini heartbreaks make my little heart very tired. When each of them happen they are barely worth any tears, but when I realize what they did to my heart, I'm overwhelmed with sadness. Because I know life is so full of them, and I don't have enough going on to make my heart feel fresh again. 

I don't know.

I'm just sad.

On the flip side, I feel we don't allow ourselves to recognize little things that used to be thrilling and make us happy.

I think when we're with someone, we become consumed by the relationship that we forget what it was like to be on our own. After all of it, we crave for some sort of unconditional companionship, and don't allow ourselves to comprehend the difference between loneliness and emptiness. Emptiness isn't necessarily a bad thing since you tend to learn what fills you, but it's difficult to understand when we've been dependent on another person, place, or thing to fill us. I don't know...

It's a one-man show, but the play is worth a read.

That play sounds interesting, I like the quote. It's about time I faded too. Thanks

I've actually really been feeling this lately too, like my heart has been hardened from all the small heart breaks over the years. But then, I just wonder if it's strength. And I try and take joy in the little things and choose to let those win at the end of the day. Stay strong.

There are little heartbreaks, but then there are little pleasures like seeing your letter on the home page and reading comments from people letting you know you're not alone in your sadness. :) thank you

The two of you can go on the LTC chat at the same time and whisper it to each other on there. =)

Lol, yeaaaa, this isn't going so well, what if I kept the chat open and if you see the same alias Im using to comment on this you can whisper it to me or vice versa, I was on that to see what it was like but I'm not sure how to send a private message...its not like you can click on the alias...is it /pm? we'll figure it out
