Heartbroken


This past week was a long, rough one with certain undesirable issues arising at school.  I will not get into details, but one of our freshman withdrew last week and it felt like a little piece of my heart broke off with her.  Our freshman family just does not feel the same without her.  It hurts… really, really hurts.

 But from this hurt—from this indescribable void -  I am learning that life is not worth living if your heart is not breaking.  Although the pain seems unbearable during that splitting moment, it reminds you that you are human.  And in order for your heart to break… you need to have loved… and if you take the risk of loving – then your heart is inevitably going to be broken – but that shattered heart reveals just how powerful that love can be.

To love means that your heart is going to be broken.  Keep loving.  Keep breaking. 

  The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.”
