I presume many of us have experienced broken-heartedness. Blessed are those who haven't. In my younger years, I have twice experienced that. Both were painful experiences but both made me stronger. Now that I am older, I have realized that I am thankful to have experienced that for it helped me a lot in dealing with more pressing problems. Besides, the experience taught me to love more and hate less. What lessons did you get from being broken hearted?

I am glad that someone learned what is meant to come from a broken heart. I am sorry that that person was not me. From my broken heart I learned that there is such thing as pain in love and that love is pain. I learned resentment. I learned that things are not always as they seem. Finally I learned the art of letting go. I also learned trust is something you earn not something you just give at the drop of a sentence. I also learned that built up walls take years to tear down once they have been safely constructed even if you love again. The lessons learned I supposse I needed to learn but I would have been content never knowing the pain and hurt. I guess it is true that if you love you will hurt.

I love what you said! It reminds me of how I have been hurt before and how learned to let go. Wouldn't you mind if I re-post or quote you in my blog?

Thank you for your comment. You may quote me in your blog if you wish. I would like you to say it came from me if you don't mind. If you want you can send me the link I always like to see how others used what I have written. I was once in an article a guy wrote about overcoming the loss of a job.:)

I've had my heart broken a bunch of times. Each time I learned something different. The first time I got my heart broken, I learned that you can't make a person love you no matter how strongly you feel about them. The 2nd time I learned not to expect so much from people. The 3rd time I learned that just because someone SAYS that they love you, doesn't mean that they really do.

Experiencing a broken heart may not be fun especially you have it for more than once. But I'm so glad you took it positively by getting to know the lessons out of those break-ups. I just wish that you will find your true love soon. Good luck and God bless.

I used to like broken hearts. i don't anymore and there is a way for a heart to be broken and this is to become flexible. It is very hard to break a tennis ball or a basketball. cheers!

What lessons have i learned from my broken heartedness. We'll i've not too long ago suffered from it (like a week tops) and i've learned that i can live without the person (bc i said i probably would be completely miserable when i finally let go) but it isn't like that. I've become to be more passionate n compassionate. As u said i've also learned to love more and hate less bc u never know when something you want will walk away n leave u. Love is a powerful thing, it changes u completely, sometimes for the worst and somethings for the best. As for me like i've said before, its build me up to be this strong individual that i am at this very moment. So, those are the few lessons i've learned. I am young and its bound to happen again, i just gotta be prepared for what's out there and hope for the best. Happy mylotting mylottians! =D
