chalk it up as a loss and move on.

i've been through a few bad relationships.

it took a while to realize i was better off without them.

I agree

the only way to prevent a broken heart is to die

if you live, if you care, you WILL get your heart broken


the question is not whether you will fall down

but whether or not you will get back up

Life is like a blackboard (God, sounds like Forrest Gump!)...you're better off not trying to erase things you didn't like...just chalk (not pun necessarily intended) it up to experience and move on. Even broken hearts can leave you with something positive and help you grow. You might not recognize it when it happens..but eventually you do.

just keep busy

Close your heart, don't care about anyone or anything, never smile at anyone, never do any acts of kindness, never have children..best to just live in a cave and never have any interaction with any living thing.

stay optimistic....dont give up.theres a reason for everything.sometimes your better off without the person who broke your heart.ive found it comes when you least expect it and your not even looking.just a few months ago,my girlfriend **** on me after using me four nearly four years and prettty much left me in an almost destitute situation.i quit looking a couple weeks ago and thats when i met a beautiful girl who grew up in spain and has origins in africa and the united states. not sure how to pronounce the small country in west africa her mother was from but her father is from the united states.she grew up in spain.shes one of the prettiest things ive ever seen and we get along really well,despite the fact that she is 26 and im 44.shes lived in the states for only a month and is over in nigeria right now for another week.shes over ther right now making clothes for orphaned children.we are growing closer all the time...but my point is,there might be something better around the corner.there is a reason for everything...dont give up and dont try so hard.itll come in its own time.

Here's antidote for you Mirror.....

Don't drop it when it is frozen.

I have to agree with Q on this. Sure is scary getting back up though.

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
