The business of being happy requires making a conscious choice. People think being happy will just happen to them someday, if only they do this or that right. But it doesn’t - you have to choose it. You choose happiness, you don’t wait for it to choose you.

You would feel hurt and cheated. You would endlessly compare yourself to the person they chose over you. You’ll become someone you hardly recognize and do things you are not proud of. Then after a very long time, you’ll start to feel like yourself again. You will see things from a different perspective and eventually (I know it probably sounds ludicrous to you right now) you will be thankful for the experience. Because someone else will come to you and tell you this exact story and instead of saying things like, ‘well if you really had any genuine feelings, you wouldn’t have waited.’ Or ‘You were never officially together so what’s the big deal?’ Instead of these things you can say, ‘I know it hurts and it probably will for a very long time. Sometimes it will be unbearable and soon your friends are going to be sick to death of hearing about it so it will be your burden to carry alone. But you will come through the other side as a more compassionate and empathetic soul. In the end, it will make you a better person.’

When someone cheats on someone else then they are automatically underserving of their partners love and devotion, how can someone who we love and claims to love us kiss another and not taste our tears on their lips? The moment someone cheats, they automatically made the decision that we were worth the risk of losing and we need not those people in our lives. Through the happiness that they brought into our life, the amount of grief and cracks in the glass that they cause will never be over looked, we live in fear when we take them back, just waiting, praying that another crack won’t be added, but is living a life in fear of a crack in the glass worth it? No amount of love can fix the damage another has done to ones trust. The road is not easy, but know your self-worth and don’t turn back.
