If someone's had their heart broken, what's the one thing you'd want them to remember in that moment?
You can choose in your life if you want to lead with your wounds or with your scars.
Yeah.
You can choose to put the focus on the fact that your heart was broken and the wounds that come with it.
But those wounds will become scars.
And the scars will be the proof that you have loved.
And that would make you so much more attractive.
If you've had your heart broken, it means your heart was filled.
And I think that there is something beautiful in leading from the scars.
It means I have lived, I have experienced, I've had relationships, I have loved, I have been loved, and I have also had my heart broken.
Fifth and final question, can you ever truly get over someone?
Oh, yes.
What does it mean to get over?
To get over someone who hurt you?
To get over to forget someone?
Can you get over someone?
Yes, yes.
And you won't forget them, but they will take a different place on your shelves.
And they may actually be in the back of the shelf.
And certain things happen, and suddenly you remember them.
