“He is heartbroken.” “Aren’t we all?” These lines from “Turtles all the way down” by John Green make sense, right? Aren’t we all heartbroken? At some point in our lives we get our hearts broken.

Psychology says that the psychological pain we feel from a heart break is as real as and as painful as any other physical pain. So if we feel as if someone is putting a knife through our heart then we are actually feeling that pain. When we say “heartbroken”, it actually reflects that pain of living with something shattered within us. Haven’t we all been there? Aren’t we dealing with one right now? We all are dealing with our heart breaks in different ways. Some are doing better and some are still stuck in the loop of pain. What is the point of this?
