Little Moments Hurt, too

There are the little moments in our lives that we will never forget... and sometimes, they're very painful.  I remember a time when I was a little girl crossing my front lawn and I accidentally stepped on a bee.  Oh how I cried! I thought, "that bee could be someones Mommy and she's not going home now because of me"!  How innocent I was.  To this day, I watch where I am walking so I do not step on the bee's in the grass.  I have a heart, I cannot kill a thing, not even an ant.  Remembering that little moment in my life made me realize how precious life truly is and how important it is to take every day and make it the best you can.  Share it with people you love and care about, let go of those you cannot hold on to and forgive those who have wronged you. 

One of the more profound "little moments" we all remember is our first break-up.  The first time we're "dumped", for lack of better words.  One moment, you're on top of the world, the next your heart is ripped out of your chest and thrown on the floor; being stomped on.  Did you see it coming? Maybe... maybe not.  Either way, it is one of those moments that help us cope for future "dumpings" and assists us in realizing that very rarely do relationships actually work out all the way to marriage.  And even THEN, it can be tricky.  Still, the first time you're dumped can be a dooooosey and it can debilitate you for days, weeks, and sometimes months, depending on how "deep" you were.  As a kid, you think it's the end of the world.  Like you'll never live again... then you meet another boy and it's like, "who was that other guy again?".  That's when you realize there are "more fish in the sea" and everything will be ok.  You start to realize that you're worth taking your time and finding the "right" one for you.  Some people make it through High School and are married for 50 years.  Others try their best, over and over again, and still don't make it through.

Breaking up is hard to do.  And it's one of those little moments, your first break up, that hurt the most.
