I just wanted to share the extemporaneous speech that I made for our English Finals last semester:
      Who among you experienced heartbreak? Did you? Iâm sure all of you did. Even the happiest people and the richest people on earth experienced heartbreaks. Who wouldnât? Tell me, who among you survived heartbreak? Now, what do you feel after looking back how hard everything was? I am here in front of you to share why we should consider heartbreaks as a blessing. I may be young to talk about heartbreaks but I also experienced enough pain as a person. Heartbreak is not all about love; it may be a loss of a friend, a disappointment, change and disloyalty. It might be a failing grade, broken possession or a feeling that has been drifting. Some of you might think, âWhat the hell! Being in such remorse is not a blessing but just have given me problems.â Or some might think âHeartbreaks just left a scar and just made my life miserableâ⊠No, youâre not looking at the bigger picture. Now, I will help you realize three different channels that altered heartbreak as a blessing⊠I will show you what some may not have realized. This is not an invention, but an experience; not only me, but by many.
                      Face the reality: Our life will eventually evolve into an act of letting go. Itâs not like it looks in the movies â life is hard and thatâs exactly how its supposed to be. For the people who choose to end their lives because of heartbreak didnât apprehend that what they felt would change them, dismantle them into a stronger person. Like what John Aughey said, âGod brings men into deep waters, not to drown them but to cleanse them.â Every one of us have times in our lives when we find ourselves broken, but it is in us to find strength in God to pick up the pieces. All of us go through tough times. You think youâll never get out of the rain, but then you make it through. And when you survive, you realize that what you went through has molded you into a stronger person, preparing you to face greater things. Think of the rough times you had, and appreciate how strong you are because of them.
 Secondly, heartbreak is a blessing that God has given us because it is His way of letting us realize that He saved us from the wrong one and He plans something better. It may not be in the way you want it but sooner or later, it is whatâs best for us. Without pain, how could we know happiness? Yes, pain demands to be felt but youâll get through it as soon as you donât reside and let go of the things that have already changed. We may dwell on the past because it is where we were comfortable and thatâs what we were used to. But how will you grasp the better routine for you today if you continue to dwell and regret? Probably you cannot, because you canât let it go. It can be difficult but occasionally in life we have to learn to let go of the old ways to move forward. Itâs okay to feel bad for leaving the old ways behind, nonetheless never forget why you left it behind â because you found something better⊠Because God planned something better for you. It is by heartbreak that you realize whatâs left for you and whatâs planned ahead for the betterment of you.
            Finally, heartbreak wakes us up that God is with us. Youâre blessed when you are out of options and all you can do is lean on God. Through heartbreak, you realize your need for Him and it is only then you tap into his infinite greatness and goodness. Even when God seemed to have abandoned you, he was still watching and guiding. I realized this during my tough times; when I was beyond all hope of saving, God gave me rest. It is true â never He will leave you. Never will He forsake you. He has greater plans for You.
 According to Matthew 5:3-5, âYouâre blessed when youâve been stripped of that which is most precious to you. Because only then can you be tenderly embraced by the One most precious to you.â
God has reasons why we experience heartbreaks. A heartbreak is a blessing that we continue to curse that is why we attract the negativity into our lives. People change so you can learn how to let go and grow up. Things go wrong to learn how to appreciate the right things in life. Good things pull to pieces so better things can fall together. After you fall, help yourself to stand up. Remember these blessings that you gain from heartbreak. Open your heart and you will find inspiration everywhere! For a moment, donât be concerned about being better. Just be! :) â
