To Heal A Broken Heart

“Playing the violin entails holding the instrument between the jaw and the collar bone. The strings are sounded either by drawing the bow across them, or by plucking them.”

To Heal A Broken Heart, is a collection of poems & short stories about understanding your ‘brokenness’ as a person who has known both love and pain, and finding healing through appreciating each emotion that has been felt throughout your journey.

When we have loved deeply, we equally feel pain with the same amount of depth; and at times, having lost the one you loved or was in love with, we are left with bits of trauma that we have to address, if we are to ever move forward. This is how we heal.

To heal, you must first understand that you are broken, and understanding that you are broken, allows you to heal.

To heal, we must address our pains and our traumas. We must find a way out of that pain, that at times, threatens to consume us whole.

To heal, we must be vulnerable with the emotions we feel, we must be honest with ourselves.

“Pick up your bow and play the strings as best as you can. Pick up the bow and play the strings until each note has been sounded. Play your heart back together.”
