Are Hurts Like Leftovers?

“The key to happiness is a short memory.”

Betty Creel White

“What if hearts are infinitely reparable? Would knowing that make you fearless in love? Instead of avoiding heartbreak, you could give all your passion and play and intimacy…and trust your heart’s ability to heal from the inevitable bumps, bruises and crashes. Contrary to fantasy, happy couples do hurt and disappoint each other. They might even break each other’s hearts. The trick is what do you do after? Run away? Or heal each other and build from there?” — Alison Armstrong

You can’t live or love well if you’re reheating hurts up for breakfast every day like their yesterday’s leftovers. Sometimes the best and happiest way to live is to let them go.
