A post not related to anything going on in my life, but I wanted to share it anyway.

I read once that every heartbreak brings us closer to finding our true selves, the self that doesn't break.

It's so true. It's just the trusting bit that's hard to reset, I think. We've talked about that, though. :)

Mmmmm, yum! Those bagel chips and cheese things we got are really yummy and spicy!

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

I should have brought one for lunch!

This might be a good topic for reprogramming, eh?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

What is it you need reprogramming? Fear of 33-cent snacks?

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

See impending livejournal post. :)

Thanks for this J. I needed to hear it.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Dispending and regurgitating wisdom is a hobby of mine :P

[maeghanne.livejournal.com]

LOL... whatever works.

I know a few people that definately need to hear this right now, thanks peach ;)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. If it helps just one person, then it was worth the eight seconds it took to type it.

XD

That should be my new tagline.

[3starsinmyeyes.livejournal.com]

haha, I completely agree, it actually speaks volumes about you.

[laboli.livejournal.com]

AMEN!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

haha, thanx

And here I thought every heartbreak brought me closer to being a paranoid, cynical asshole.

[weishaupt.livejournal.com]

Oh wait. Maybe that *is* my true self :p

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Egads, you might be onto something there!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I think that's the alley that runs parallel to it, behind the porn shop and the discount barbeque ribs place.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

What doesn't kill us turns to dust at sunrise leaving us to explain to the police and the insurance company why everyone is dead and the house is in shambles.

Oh Goodie!

If heartbreak does that...then I must be close to unbreakable by now! ;)

Re: Oh Goodie!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

That's the goal, I guess, though there's a million ways to get there :)

[panther-nesmith.livejournal.com]

But what is a life lived without anything to loose?

Given my recent experiences, I have to agree with you. I learned a lot this past summer and even though I felt like I was going to die, I came out feeling more like "myself" than I ever have.

It's always so hard to tell, because we get used to thinking of ourselves in terms of someone else, so when that breaks, we feel less than whole, and it takes time to figure out who we are again. It's never simple because we're always changed, never hte same person afterwards. Eventually, all the false halves will run out and like the O with the mIssing Piece, we will find ourselves whole.
