Broken relationships hurt. They are obstacle courses with no map, just emotions so strong they cloud your version— and the decisions that come with ‘em. The intensity with which we feel the hurt is directly proportionate to the strength with which we felt the connection in the first place. Light hits the prism from another angle after the separation, casting a different hue upon the things we used to see so clearly. But once we process the pain— the sense of loss and, in some cases abandonment— we’re able to view things in a new light. We can take stock of who we are, where we are, and what we need moving forward.
