Grateful for this heartbreak via /r/gratitude

Just last week, I ended a “situationship” and it hurt TREMENDOUSLY. I visualized being with this guy but our incompatibility got in the way and I decided to just end it. It hurt. It really hurt. It still hurts. But, I am now coming to terms with this pain: like hey, self, at least you know your heart is still working! the last time I had a relationship was seven years ago and it was only this year when my heart started “beating for someone” again and while it’s still hurting me now, I am grateful that my heart is still beating, still loving, and still looking forward for the love that’s meant for me.

I am grateful for letting this person go, for I am opening myself up for the person that is meant for me.

I am grateful for my present self, for my future self will thank me for this painful sacrifice I am doing now.

I am grateful for this pain, for this pain is only temporary and the reward will be much greater in the end.

I am grateful for this “jumpstarted” heart of mine, for it is now more open and loving and understanding after years of solitude.

I am grateful for the things that are about to line up for me ☺️
