Actual Facts About the Heart
W henever we suffer a breakup, we can’t help but wonder about the damage done to our hearts. Maybe some interesting facts about how truly strong the heart is will help us remember that the damage is just emotional:
The average human heart, beating at seventy-two beats per minute, will beat approximately 2.5 billion times in a lifetime, which is about sixty-six years.
It weighs on average 250g to 300g in females and 300g to 350g in males(for once, it’s not women who have the weight problem).
The human heart begins beating at a rate near the mother’s, about seventy-five to eighty beats per minute, around twenty-one days after conception.
There is no difference between male and female heartbeats before birth; it is only after birth and during full function as a male or female that they become different (boy, how different).
The heart is the most critical organ of the human body, as it pumps oxygenated blood to feed the body’s biological functions. Therefore, it is the part of the body you should take care of the most.
High blood pressure and stress (breakups and fighting) can increasethe risk of developing heart disease. Of course, one must also consider other factors, such as lifestyle and overall health (mental and social as well as physical).
The heart is essentially a muscle only a little larger than the fist (great things come in small packages).

In the Name of Love
O kay, I know we have all been through this one. After you’ve stopped dating someone, everyone in your life has to tell you how awful he was. “Did you know he was cheating on you the whole time?” “Did you know that he hit on me at my birthday party?” “The first time I saw him, I knew he was all wrong for you.” “He SO was not even cute!” You get the point. The initial purpose is sweet. It’s to boost you up, make you feel special and like you weretoo good for him anyway. But the internal conflict that you are experiencing is invisible to those around you. You start to think, Why? Why didn’t anyone tell me I was with Satan? Why didn’t anyone tell me as my life was dwindling away? And then you think, and why tell me now? As if I need more bad news on top off all the pain I’m feeling. Then you feel stupid for not seeing it. And it’s only then that you realize, sometimes the best good-bye is a nice one. Leaving yourself with a good memory will get you a lot further in the healing process.
Look, if it was good, you would still be in it. It wasn’t, so you’re not. But wouldn’t you rather know that you were in it at one point for a reason? Of course you would. You want to know that you chose the right person to spend time with for that part of your life, that he was a good person, and that, at that time, you made the right choice. That your time together mattered and you can take what you’ve learned here to your next relationship. You want to remembergood times, because it’s only good that can fill up your heart so you can move on. Hatred makes you stagnant—it leaves no room for growth and isn’t real.
I have apologized to friends and loved ones, but you can’t say who I chose was wrong. That’s for me to decide. Loving someone, even someone who you don’t love anymore, for what they brought to your life, is you being your highest self. So, earmuffs. Let people know that your
