Being in love is one of the most wonderful feelings one could experience freely here on earth. Love inspires and motivates people to be the best version of their selves. Many times, when we are in a happy state of being in love, we tend to take for granted unintentionally the other aspects of our lives mainly because we only focus our attention to the significant person we are with. Not all relationships are successful; however, having a failed love makes a person better. When I had my heart broken, I grew closer to God and to my family.
While I was still in a relationship, I seldom come to family gatherings due to always giving my time to my ex-boyfriend. I gave him so much time that I forgot to keep some for myself, so when I became single I make-up to my family for all the times that I was not there for them. It really is easing to know that I have understanding parents. They guide me when I was going through my heartbreak. Breaking up with my ex-boyfriend was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Even though I was completely devastated of the break-up, it led me closer to God.
A friend of mine connected me again to the Lord, and it gave me so much peace of mind and that really helped me to be more positive in life and love. In addition to being positive, it also helped me to moved on faster and I studied harder. Since I was broken hearted, I focus myself also on studying and spending my time with my new friends. One major improvement after the break-up was my grades in school. I do not study that much, I rather talk to my ex-boyfriend than open up a textbook and read.
When we broke up, I had all the time in the world to study and do my homework’s on time. Consequently, I got good grades, and I was included in the list of honor student at the end of the semester. I was proud of myself for achieving something good out of something bad. Being single makes one extra-friendly. I met new people at school whom I seldom notice due to always thinking of my ex-boyfriend. It is nice to know more people because then one would not always be alone and feel lonely, and having friends means having a lot of people to talk to and hang out with.
As a result of having good grades at school, I was able to do the things that I want for myself, too. One of the major perks of being single is freedom. Freedom is constrained when a person is in a relationship. One could make decisions without having to think of someone else’s feelings. I use my freedom wisely; I enrolled myself to the gym and got myself a part-time job. This is the perfect time for self-growth because now that the relationship has ended, one could ponder the strengths and weaknesses that he/she possesses to know thy self more and be a better person.
Those realizations could also be useful to the next relationship one will be into, so he/she will not repeat the same mistakes that were done in the past. Despite of having a failed love, I gained a lot more from it. It drew me closer to God, to my family, to my friends, and most importantly to myself. I can now say that I am a better person than I was before; I learned to balance things out and know my priorities in life. Having my heart broken was really a positive experience for me. If only people could focus on the positive aspects of life, they will not be in despair and self-loathe when they failed in a relationship.
