if you follow your heart sometimes it brings sadness or pain but sometimes it brings true happiness. if you never follow your heart it doesn't matter if you are shielding yourself hurt, you will simply never be happy.
so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.
