Pieces Of A Broken Heart

By Jake Houston

After a painful breakup, your mind will bounce between several highs and many lows. From depression over the seemingly unending hurt to the desire to give up on love altogether; the conviction that you must be unlovable and the desperation to cling to the happy feelings that started it all; and looking for ways things could have been different before allowing yourself to indulge in hope for the future—humans from the dawn of civilization have experienced the unique agony that comes from a breakup, and in this collection of poetry, readers will find empathy and even solace in knowing that they're not alone in having lost love.

In the LGBTQ community, negativity can be all too common. Sadly, it's become too easy to simply download an app and swipe right on the next guy without having to process the emotional side of a breakup. But this is the perfect time to turn your attention to yourself, and make sure you're giving yourself everything you need. After all, at the end of the day, you're the only one dealing with your emotions. Take care of yourself. Know you are loved!

About the book:

This book will illustrate the different ups and downs your mind goes through after a breakup. From the depressed state your mind hits about how hurt you feel and wanting to give up on love and the feelings of being unlovable that come with it; about trying to cling to the happy moments that started it all; looking for ways things might have been different. What you could have done; then back again to having no hope on moving forward.

You will see the different stages as you read on. Back and forth, similar to how you would feel if you were going through it day by day. Most of the emotions that come from this are from personal experiences of past relationships I have been in. Not all of them ended poorly. In fact, I’m friends with a lot of my exes (not that I have a ton, but you get what I mean). Not all of them but some. Just because things don’t go as planned doesn’t mean that they are a bad person (although, some totally are) life is too short to hold a grudge and hang onto that negativity. In the end it’s only going to bring you down in the process.
