To learn to detach yourself from emotions is not to deprive yourself of it. But rather, to completely drench yourself with it. To surrender your heart your soul and your mind to it, to let you crumble you utterly. Then slowly, bit by bit, rebuild yourself. Now you know how it feels, how it feels to be completely heartbroken, so when the next time comes you know how to pick yourself up. You can tell yourself that you’ve already survived this before… you will survive it again. Because the truth is, you will. It may not seem like it at this moment, but eventually it shall pass, you’ll wipe your tears dry and you’ll wake up the next day smelling like a rose again.
