Not a Metaphor

Real Talk

A broken heart is not a metaphor hahah a broken heart is a physical feeling where you can feel your own body tearing apart. You feel yourself sinking, your body shuts down and want to feel no emotion. Because feeling numb is entirely better than hurting, and hurting and feeling the lowest of lows is so much more painful than the joy of the highest of highs. Feeling nothing would be awesome. You would be blessed. Yes you can claim that letting yourself be vulnerable let's you connect with someone more, but letting yourself be vulnerable is bull crap hahah. Letting yourself be vulnerable lets yourself feel hurt and pain and feel like you are less than the scum on the very bottom of this earth!!! Letting yourself be vulnerable hurts and no one likes being hurt. Ok cool trust someone entirely and give it your all and invest your full heart, but guess what people leave and it sucks. And it always hurts someone more and leaves a deeper cut. And sometimes those cuts heal into beautiful scars, but also sometimes those cuts don't heal and serve as a warning to not let yourself succumb to your emotions, because no one is watching out for our feelings so someone has got to do the dirty work here.
