Well, to hell with that, we deserve better. We must work to
shed ourselves of all the longing and sorrow and learn to
recognise that our hearts need clearing out from time to time
too. That the old adage, “there’s plenty of fish
in the sea,” is a cliché precisely because it is
true — the world is rich and teeming with deeply
fascinating, warm-hearted people, and though you
mightn’t always reel in precisely what you’re
looking for, much joy and enjoyment can be found in the
process. We must come to understand that the people who tear
our hearts to pieces do not have the power to put them back
together, not even if they wanted to—that only we have
the tools, care, and understanding that are necessary to make
them strong and whole again.
