“I want her back, Sadie.” “I know you want her back, kid. And I know people saying things like ‘there are plenty more fish in the sea’ is only going to make you hurt more. And I could tell you all about the science of what your brain is going through right now. How its processing a pain as intense as hitting a nerve in your tooth, but it can’t find a source for that pain, so you kind of feel it everywhere. I could tell you that when you fall for someone, the bits of your brain that light up are the same as when you’re hungry or thirsty. And I could tell you that when the person you love leaves you, you starve for them, you crave them, and have withdrawals from them, like an addict would from a drug. And I know this sounds very poetic, or exaggerated, or dramatic, but it’s not. Heartbreak is a science, like love. So, trust me when I say this: you’re wounded right now, but you’ll heal.”

“My pain is my art. I’ve come to realize that broken hearts speak the loudest truth and recovering ears are eager to listen. We drink up the lessons learned by those before us. We take this knowledge and fearlessly jump into our next disaster…we love as though we’ve never sat on the floor of our shower crying until 2 am. We continue as though we’ve never experienced the heartbreak that’s kept us awake for months. With a smile on our face, we dive into another, hoping to find our forever.”
