Grateful for heartbreak via /r/gratitude

I’ve had my heart broken, Ive also broken someone’s heart. I’ve been left out, Ive also left someone behind. I’ve been abused, Ive also been the abuser. It’s true that we learn how to treat people by how we’ve been treated. I’m grateful for these lessons because now I know to be more careful with someone’s heart. I make it a point to include everyone. I’ve learned to be calm and see things from everyone perspective before I respond to a stressful situation. If I didn’t know how it feels to be on the receiving end of trauma then I’d be blind to all of this. Even though it hurts I feel like it was necessary for me to go through. It made me a better person.
