It is important to understand that we, as women, are not the only ones to feel hurt. There are good men that are hurt by women every single day. Hurt is to never be forgotten, but certainly must be healed before one can truly understand another’s pain. It’s crucial for men and women to never lose their pure heart and trade it for a colder, harder model, even if it’s the safest option. Build from your pain, grow from it. Use your wounds as the shallow holes from which your soul will sprout from. We can only grow from here. Betrayal is a stepping stone to something better. The small percentage of people with a good heart left on this earth continues to diminish day by day, but really it’s only other people similar to you suffering for it because most are already hardened at heart. By choosing to harden instead of allowing yourself to be vulnerable to growth and change, you spread the feeling of pain to others who once had a soul as beautiful as your own. It is your choice whether or not you will project your anger and heartbreak onto others, or use it for a way to become more wise, more understanding, and more compassionate. Being vulnerable and allowing yourself to be out of your comfort zone is essential to being better and to letting go. Do not avoid or fear intimacy, but instead be observant to who knows what it really is and who’s heart is overflowing with good intentions. They are out there; good people still exist. They are not perfect, they make mistakes, they might hurt your feelings sometimes, but they exist and they are rare. Be rare, heal your wounds, grow, and keep your pure heart. Remember that once you hit rock bottom, there's only going up from there. You will heal, you will be smarter, you will be more loving, you will be better.
