Sometimes it may feel like all the forces of the world are working together to try and pull your heart in every direction until it breaks. The ropes tighten, tug and scratch against the surface of your fragile heart. An emotional game of tug of war ensues; only this version is to find out what will snap first; the rope or your heart. Don’t let the outside forces win. Don’t let the pain of life defeat you. No matter how much your heart gets yanked, scratched, battered and bruised, fight to keep it centered in your chest. Remember that you are strong. Remember that your heart is strong. Keep fighting.
