Heartache Notebook

If you have a heart, it's been broken. Probably more than once. Possibly by the same person. This book is a collection of the range of emotions that come with a broken heart. Designed to be a companion for when heartache sets in, this can be a commonplace book for your feelings. The human heart was created and with it, the human condition that it would be bruised and bloodied and scarred. There are not enough words, enough paint, or enough music in the world to capture all of the emotions that come with heartache. Like the sunset, it looks different to whomever views it. There can be beauty in that pain. There can be a connection for which people can reach across the ages and read a sentence, see a painting or hear a song and think that they are not alone. We become trailblazers for one another in this journey of love and heartache. This menagerie of poems includes a range from unrequited love and forsaken love. From walking away to finally waking up. To kissing it all goodbye and learning to heal alone. This book includes blank journaling pages to allow the reader to interact with the poems and add thoughts of his or her own. So no matter what particular type of heartache you are nursing, there is something here for you. Heartache makes us human. Perhaps, in The Garden of Eden, God took the rib from Adam to create Eve because He needed us to be intertwined and connected. He needed to take that rib to remove the protective shelter nearest to the heart. In our desperate attempts to be whole, we grasp for another person in the hope that they will fill that empty void. We may fail, but we try again. And again. Broken hearts are for everyone. In that, ironically, we can feel whole.
