The other day, I was on a busy metro station platform, waiting for the train. The platform was buzzing with people all around. Suddenly, my attention was drawn to a young girl talking on her phone, tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked deeply saddened and dejected.
"Seems to be a case of heartbreak. Maybe she had a fight with her boyfriend." One of the bystanders commented lightly.
At that very moment, it dawned on me, is heartbreak only confined to matters of love and longing?
There can be, and there are multiple reasons that actually break the heart of us humans.
- A failed interview session.
- Serious illness / passing away of a near one.
- Unfulfilled promises.
- A denied promotion
- Losing something important
and many more...
Heartbreak has many faces; the magnitude varies
