Why Be Love's Victim?

A breakup can be devastating whether the relationship was one in which the two of you dated extensively or one in which you intimately lived together. If you allow it, the breakup can overwhelm you in misery.

Instead of accepting what is, it is easy to cling to memories of the good times, and the comfort and security the relationship offered you as you wallow in blame and sadness. You go to bed alone with no-one to hold you, and as you lie awake, the dark and empty night can feel endless.

This can lead to hurt and anger, and even jealousy as you picture your ex-lover with another love. This thinking can allow intense negativity to dominate your life making you unpleasant to be with and shutting the door to new possibilities. 

And why explore new relationships and new interests when you can focus on the loneliness, depression and self-pity that now absorbs you as your self- confidence withers away.

But this doesn't have to be. Why waste months living in agony, trying to fruitlessly hang on to what is now in the past when instead, you can explore your hopes and dreams and allow this breakup to become the basis for a personal renaissance, a time of rediscovery and growth.

Life goes on and with it, an exciting new love awaits you from someone who can appreciate the many wonderful aspects of you. So open your heart to the many possibilities life has to offer you, embracing each day for the precious gift it is and with it, all the blessings a new love can bring you.
