Although #heartbreak does not kill you, it does a number on you; the fear of another encounter is sometimes so overwhelming that it almost does not matter you survived.
You just can’t help but look over your shoulder and/or second guess yourself. You keep hoping, smiling, praying, chanting… or whatever else you usually do to “cope”, but you just feel broken: that is just the way it is.
What does not kill you makes you stronger; but did you know that first you would have to experience #PTSD?
Then, it will make you either stronger, or just harder – harder to get – by.

But you did survive.
& that’s what matters.

In my case, it made me both stronger AND harder. They are not always exclusive of each other. Hugs to you!
