I think heartbreak is something that you learn to live with as opposed to learn to forget.
You know, I think anybody who has been in relationships has access to heartbreak - I don't think we have to go far to find it, whether we inflicted the heartbreak or whether we were the recipient of it.
Broken relationships are a source of heavy heartbreak that seem to affect every family.
When you go through heartbreak, you just do the things that get you by. Eventually, you realise it's about making the most of life.
My entire youth was spent with an incredibly ill parent... I don't think you can grow up that way and not be marked by that experience.
In high school, I had a couple girlfriends who had very extreme eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia. And in college as well. It's just heartbreaking. As someone going through it, it's heartbreaking. And as a friend who's helping a friend going through it, it's heartbreaking. It's a real, real disease.
I hate being the heartbreaker. Hate it. If I date somebody and it doesn't work out, it's another nightmare for me.
