For most of us, it’s the first heartbreak that’s the worst. You go into your first relationship with innocence, naïve to the potential dark side of falling in love. Everything is new and fun, until it’s not – until it’s over and you’re left to pick up the pieces left behind.

The second time things go a little differently. That’s not to say it’s easy and painless. It’s not. But the second time you get your heart broken, you know how to pick up the pieces, and you know that at the end of the day, you’ll be just fine.

Love is a learning experience. You learn how to find yourself and how to find love again after your first heartbreak – and your second comes with a few lessons of its own.
