Heartbreak

So many of my friends are going through rough times right now.  It truly breaks my heart to watch them suffer.  I can go through all of the tough crap in my life and not feel sorry for myself, but as soon as one of my friends starts hurting... it's like my heart tears itself in two.  This time, it's not just one friend, but many.  The heartache spreads across a spectrum; from relationship heartbreak to losing someone who is closest to them before it's their time, from depression issues to utter disappointment with life.  Sometimes it makes me wonder why we go through the things we go through.  But you know what we all have in common?  The need to have wonderful people around us to help us through; at the end of the day, love and compassion go the farthest in helping someone through any type of heartbreak.

So this blog post goes out to them.  They all know who they are.  I found a bunch of bible verses and quotes from different people that I believe will help you through, or at least give you hope enough to get through the night.  I love you all.

"In quietness and trust is your strength." -Isaiah 30:15

"No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again." -Buddha

Please remember that I am here for each and every one of you.  Without you in my life, I'm sure I would not have gotten through many different obstacles in my own life.  And for that, I thank you.  

Until next time.
