Half Broken Heart = Falling Tear Drop

One Thursday evening, I had been hanging out with a few of my friends. One of them, happened to be doodling on a sheet of paper, getting her mind off of the stressful week she had had.  She continued her drawing, and once satisfied with the result, she asked me, "Andy Roo, what do you see in this picture? And be honest."


 After a lot of thinking, improvisation of ideas, and wild guesses, I came to the conclusion that this photograph looked like a teardrop. My friend replied "Although that is correct, there is another thing that this looks like, what is it?" Now I really started pulling things out of my ass and making oddly wild guesses. Finally, after a lot of laughter, my friend told me that it is also half a broken heart. After turning the sheet of paper upside down, I finally realized that she was right. Which made me start to wonder; was there a reason why the human heart is depicted in this way? Are humans bound to some type of heartbreak in their life time? And if so, why? Who should be the one to suffer this awful feeling; of shame, sorrow, regret, remorse, sadness, anger, guilt, and a loss of self worth. No one. This feeling has been felt by so many people world wide, and it honestly needs to stop.

"When you're dreaming with a broken heart 
Then waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...."  


John Mayer's "Dreaming With a Broken Heart (Listen to the song at the end of the post!)


Knowing who I am, I never, and I mean NEVER, want to cause this feeling to ANYONE. Have I caused this to people? Yes, I honestly have, and it sucks making someone feel like that. That's why one of my main goals in life, is to try and prevent people from feeling this. I will do whatever I can, to remove this feeling from any said person. Also, if I can't do this, I will find someone or something that will make that person feel better! Now, I will prevent the self harmful ways of feeling better; such as cutting, drinking, and drugs. Those are counter productive and are quick fixes for this, and they are very ill advised. This horrible feeling can turn the smartest and kindest people into the complete opposite, due to the sheer amount of stress and doubt that they feel when heartbreak occurs.
