Heartbreak can be brutal and cruel. No one can understand that kind of pain unless you've been through it.
It can strip away self-confidence, fuck with your belief system, break your trust and make you feel like a failure no matter how hard you try to move forward.
And if you have kids with your ex, the pain runs so much deeper.
Sometimes it will feel like you'll never be able to crawl out of this mess you're living.
Sometimes it will feel like you’ve run out of options.
And sometimes you’ll beg for a break only to find out that if you stop surviving and doing, something else will go wrong.
You’ll feel like you can’t take any more punches and want to give up.

And now that day is here.
It’s every girl's dream.
Do you remember looking at bridal magazines as a young girl and happily planning your big day as they call it, in your mind.
