" It’s a strange thing to feel your heart break. Cartoons would have you believe it’s like breaking a cracker. It snaps in half, with red crumbs falling to the ground, leaving two jagged halves sitting side by side. All you’d have to do is shove them together and they’d look like one again. That’s not the way a real heart breaks. It’s not clean. It doesn’t snap in half. When a heart breaks, it somehow stays whole. It keeps beating. It keeps pumping. Only the person who owns it knows that it’s been shattered. "
