Living With A Broken Heart Is Breathing Hard

Living with a broken heart is like walking around naked,  with a half-empty soul tied by a rope that still belongs to someone else. It is a slow torture that suffocates and hurts, however, no pain is eternal.

They say that time heals the unhappiness, the offenses and the disappointments. However, not only will the passing of days be a good ally, our courage and inner strength will also guide us little by little so that the wound hurts a little less. And although there is no forgetting, at least we will have rest.

The emotional wound caused by an unrequited love, or a love that happened and disappeared, is without a doubt one of the greatest traumas a human being can experience.

We are immobilized because our values ​​are broken, because illusions disappear and because we have to pick up every piece of self-esteem that has often been broken. The after-healing process is slow and gentle.

A broken heart must have its wounds closed with gold

A broken bone takes much less time to heal than a broken heart, depending on the situation. So, for any wound to heal, it takes willpower and, above all, the ability to assume that we are no longer going to be the same. That we are going to leave this process strengthened, that we are going to become resilient and learn from the lived experience.

The Kintsukuroi tradition shows us a kind of philosophy that allows us to take more than one thought. Get to know it better below:

• If we refuse to accept this loss, this disappointment or separation, we will be anchored in eternal and unnecessary suffering.

• It’s important to accept what happened, and accept “that we’re not okay”. Acknowledging pain is accepting a reality that we must work on day after day.
• Pain is part of you, but it’s not you : it’s something temporary.
• Don’t make the mistake of wanting to go back to your old situation. You will not be the same as yesterday, many things will change within you, and there is no reason to be negative.
• Kintsukuroi’s art aims not to hide the wounds, the fractures of these porcelain pieces. The magic is to close them with gold to show where the wound is, and achieve a final result where beauty is undeniable.
• Legend has it that every object that was sealed with Kintsukuroi’s technique never broke again.

let go of what you feel

We know you can’t mend a broken heart with gold, but with the intense glow of your emotions struggling to light new dreams, to heal lost dreams and wake up to new and more intense ones with deeper roots.

In reality, it’s not a simple process. Emerging from the tears and ashes of this life we ​​dream of and don’t reach isn’t always easy, but it’s not because it’s hard that it’s going to be impossible. On the contrary, there will actually come a time when you will feel proud of yourself, for having become the person you really wanted to be: someone free from suffering.

remember what you deserve

People who walk around every day with a broken heart have forgotten what they deserve. Therefore, it would be very appropriate for the “gold” that will seal the fractures of your soul to follow these basic principles:

• You deserve to be loved, you deserve to be happy. No one should live the condemnation of feeling unhappy every day of their life.

• The choice made by a person at a given moment cannot define it. No, and you. It’s your thinking, it’s your micro-world and a strange universe in which you shouldn’t collapse. Your reality is unique and very different from the one or the one that broke your heart.

• No one but yourself is going to get you out of this situation. You must be your own artisan, who will subtly heal your own wounds with the gold of your self-esteem, the gold of your renewed dreams, the gold of new hopes that you must embark on every day…

Broken hearts are boats adrift that advance lost for a while. However, they always end up finding the calm and serene path that leads to true happiness.
