What life teaches you first and foremost, is how to live with a broken heart.
Perhaps it starts with your first love, or maybe a breach of trust from a caregiver. And then the world steps in and keeps breaking it, over and over again. Wars, famine, injustice, genocide. It never stops.
The heart heals, most of the time, its scars like armour eventually envelop it in a protective shield to guard it from the worst of it. And also, as a consequence, the best of it.
You start feeling a little less of everything. Disassociation becomes the only way to move through reality without dying of shock.
Or is there another way?
