Heartbreak is over, now what?
Are you ready to date?
What lessons have you learnt from heartbreak?
Did the relationship teach you something about love? About what you will accept or not accept again?

You should really consider what you’re getting yourself into.” I decided to give you a chance because A. I liked you, and B. I generally try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Or maybe I was just naïve.

I am hoping one day that may be my story. Well if that’s in God’s will for my life. I identified with some parts of the story and the struggles. I could see myself standing in her shoes at some point. I think I have learnt the lessons I needed to learn. I have made mistakes which hopefully I shall not repeat again.
Here’s to one day writing that article about how Cinderella got her groove back. Here’s to starting over!
