The Broken Heart

Do you ever feel like someone ripped out you heart? Do you feel like you want it to end but it doesn't seem like God is listening? Do you feel tempted to commit suicide? Have you ever turned something into an outlet where you try to release all your pain where no one else can see? Or have something that you go to that keeps the pain at bay for a while?

If you have felt or done any of those things, you are not alone… I kinda feel all of those things right now. I’m a teenage guy and yes I actually have feelings. Some people would think that I didn't feel much but to be honest I probably feel a lot more than people expect. A lot of you probably are also teenagers that are reading this and if you’re not, then here is a little insight on how we think.

As a guy I’m expected to deal with it, a phrase that I have heard ever since I was little, from one of my sisters. Deal with it, is not really the way things should go. Like yes we need to be able to stand through the pain and stand your ground (I do believe that is song lyrics from a song) but we don’t want to just hold it all in. We need someone to go to who we can talk to about our problems, which always helps me.

Going to switch gears just ever so slightly here. So my sister got married within the past week and so I have been dealing with the pain of her moving away. I don’t usually show it but the pain is always there, and then last night I had some suspicions of mine confirmed. I found out that the girl I have a crush on is once again in a relationship with a guy. So here I am trying to stay strong for the rest of my family and trying to deal with 2 hear breaking pains at once. My advice, don’t get a crush on someone. It is one of the worst pains as a teen that I have had to endure. I’m not trying to complain to you all, I’m sorry if you feel that way right now, but trust me I’m not.

So how can you keep going and deal with all the pain the hurt the feeling that sometimes people don’t care about you. How do you deal with this? To be honest I’m not exactly sure the best way. Some people think the answer is suicide. Some think its drugs or drinking. I personally have a bad habit of submersing myself in video games. The best way I can think of is by praying to God and by talking to people about it. I know it’s hard to talk to people about it but it actually does help. That’s all the advice I can give on that.

I guess I need to go help my dad so I’ll leave it off here.
