The words he said left an echo which has only now, begun to fade.
“I didn’t break you, you were already broken”. It felt like a hundred pins were stuck into me all at once, with my body’s gating mechanism shut down so that I could feel the pain in every cell of every part of my body. He broke my heart, but it was my whole body which fell apart.
“Broken”- he called me. I was damaged, damaged goods with no value. I spent a long time trying to make sense of that word. A little longer, I spent on anyone who could fix- broken. God, I hated that word.
I wish I could say- that I realized the words he spoke that night were false, lies and nothing more but I can’t. I’m only just now learning, maybe he was right; maybe I am broken; but I am so done waiting around for him to come and fix me.

We all need to fix ourselves, and not be defined by what others would say of us xx

Exactly! We shouldn’t wait around for others or need their validation.

We do get broken at times, but that should not stop us from getting fixed…and we do not have to wait for someone to do that for us…we pick ourselves up and get things right again! It is not easy, broken never is, but it is fixable! Love your post. 🙂

Nothing feels better than realizing the light after such experience. Realizing you can actually stand again.

Aww poor thing =(. We are all broken but the best part about being broken is when you invite God into your heart and realize that only He can fix you =)

well maybe it’s best to fix yourself – without anybody’s help – so you wouldn’t break again once that someone leaves. hehe 🙂

Loved the lines which explains pain in every cell of your body,i think it is not being broken, just being hurt and very much alive to feel the pain.
