It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Losing my parents, who I admired, loved and needed, it took a long time to be able to move on.
Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place. Over the years, I had my heart broken so badly that if I didn't find a way to get all the pain out, I was going to lose my mind. I was crazy! Like, wanting to slash tires and smash car windows. Crazy! I was so hurt that I had to write.
There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. But even in my most jaded times, I had some hope.
My heart got broken so many times because I put so much pressure on it. And then... I got blindsided.
I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through.
I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
My heart has never been broken, I've never broken anyone else's.
I've never had my heart broken.
That was essential to my journey: the ability to love children while simultaneously having your heart broken.
For me, growing up, I felt like there was something fatally and tragically flawed in my nature and that it was my duty to try to avoid falling for that vice.
