Every girl needs a heartbreak that’s enough to leave her in pieces

Something to teach her that it is never good to bank her happiness on a boy, to remind her that in the end, there is no one else who will pick up the shards but herself. And, maybe even something to turn her jaded against the world and make her hesitant to flame any spark of hope before it consumes her. Cartons of ice cream or boxes of tissues later, she will slowly learn to reclaim life as her own. No more, she reminds herself. As she collects the days, broken, so rises a woman - an independent woman with a clear mind but a caged heart rubbed raw by experience. She smiles and laughs though nothing penetrates her. Numb to the core. But then, she will meet a guy who is nothing like she had imagined. Just what she needs. He will slowly touch her with kindness and, one by one, take away all her insecurities. He will continue to grow on her, into her, if you will, and this time it’s real. She will relearn the things that were starting to feel foreign to her - trust, faith, love, life.
