Break Up Quotes To Fix Your Broken Heart

At the moment you feel like you could fall no lower and could not feel any worse. You feel as though your life is over. But is it really? Are you really going to feel like this forever?

Getting over a break up is always going to be hard but to put you on the right track there are some little words that can lift your spirit and push you in the right direction. Wherever you hear them, those few little words, can often make you smile again.

Break up quotes also give you the reassurance that you are not alone. That other people out there are suffering and going through the same emotions that you are. Sometimes this is enough to help us to deal with these feelings. Sometimes this may be the exact words we need to hear to take that little step forward.

As you are probably feeling in darkness at the moment these break up quotes will hopefully put the sunshine back into your life!

Whilst going through a break up your true feelings seem to come to light. Sometimes, those are feelings you never even knew you had. These are some break up quotes that describe some of the feelings you may be having at the moment. These quotes show us that we are not alone and that there are others who feel our pain. Each of us will have our own interpretation of each quote based on our feelings but here is what each quote means to me.

1. "You don't realize how much you care about someone until they don't care about you."

How many of us know that this is true? We always want things we can't have. When we have them we take them for granted and not notice that they are there. But when they are gone we feel like a big part of our life has disappeared. One we kind of liked!

2. "You've never felt pain until you've felt love."

There are varying types of pain in life. The pain you get when you have a cut or bruise right up to the pain you feel when your heart has been shredded to pieces. Whoever you have lost and in what way that pain is the worst type of pain that you can experience. But if the love was not there then that pain would not have existed.

3. "If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't like you. If I hadn't liked you, I wouldn't love you. If I wouldn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do and I will."

Pretty simple one to understand. If you hadn't have met you wouldn't have fallen in love and feel hurt now. But on the positive side if you didn't meet them where would you be now. There's always someone else you can meet and fall in love with around every corner.

4. "I can't talk to you anymore, it's not that I am mad at you, it's just that when I talk to you I realize how much I love you and when I realize how much I love you, I realize I can't have you and that makes me love you even more."

Back to break up quote number one if you can't have something you always want it more. This is really the best advice as staying away from you ex can help you in many ways. First it gives you a chance to cool down and work out your feelings and secondly meeting up with them will only make you feel worse and may lead to harsh words being said or pushing them away even further.

5. "I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care, I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there. I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you're doing, but I can't help it, cause I'm in love with you."

You can't just switch your love off. Depending on the reason that your relationship ended your ex may have been thinking about it for a while and has had time to adjust before even ending the relationship. If you didn't see it coming the hurt is even stronger and your love cannot just end. It will take time but try to introduce more things in your life so you don't have time to think about what they are doing and with whom and you may soon start to wonder why you even cared in the first place!

6. "Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never knew."

But yes, forgetting is going to be hard. There's no button you can press to turn your love off. It may take some time. But as this quote seems to suggest it may seem impossible at the moment. Depending on the choices you make this may always be so but no one wants to live in the past so you must start to rebuild your life however much you may not want to.

7. "Nothing hurts more than realizing they meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to them."

This is another one that we can all relate to. When a relationship finishes you are the one that realises how much your ex means to you whilst they are realising how much you don't mean to them. It is not an easy situation and the only positive thing you can do it either move on and forget about them or turn the situation around and make them realise exactly what they are missing out on!

8. "The pain of having a broken heart is not so much as to kill you, yet not so little as to let you live."

Your broken heart will not kill you but it is painful enough for you to believe that will. During these times it is important for you to keep believing that it won't always be like this and however hard it may seem at these times it WILL get better.

9. "Sometimes you think you've gotten over a person, but when you see them smile you suddenly realize you're just pretending you're over them to ease the pain of knowing that they will never be yours."

This is a good reason to distance yourself from your ex until you feel like you are truly over them. Seeing them again so soon, especially if they have moved on, can be especially painful and bring everything flooding back. /so if possible try to keep away until you feel like you have moved on and are in a place where their life won't affect you.

10. "Missing you isn't the hard part, knowing I once had you is what breaks my heart."

You may miss them but knowing that you were with them and never will be again is going to take some coming to terms with.

Those break up quotes may highlight what you are feeling at the moment. But during a break up you may have other thoughts and symptoms such as:

* Leaving the radio off because every song makes you cry

* Loss of appetite

* Binge eating for comfort

* Calling your ex several times a day

* Text messaging and emailing constantly

* Constantly checking your email and voice mail to see if he/she called

* Not going out because you are afraid to miss a call

* Thinking non-stop about why they REALLY left you

* Feeling massively depressed

* Feeling urges to spy on them

* Endlessly rehearsing what you should have said

* Endlessly rehearsing what you will say if you bump into them.

There is always a time in every break up, whatever the circumstances, that you will yearn for the love you have lost and for a while you may experience some, or all, of these symptoms. But none of these will help you regain that love or to even find closure. These actions are more than likely going to make you feel even worse.

Your best bet is to deal with your pain and emotions by speaking and spending time with a friend or family member, who can take your mind off your past relationship. Talking through your relationship will help you find out what made the relationship end. It can also help you gain closure and decide whether or not you do still really want to be with that person. Sometimes you are more upset that they don't love you than the fact that you are not with them. If this is the case then it really is time to move on.

You may be in immense pain. Break ups are an emotional time but you must believe that the pain will not be there forever. YOU WILL get over it.

Break up quotes are just a small part of a more long term plan.

There are some things you may do, however, that can make you feel worse. But there are also a LOT of things you can do to make you feel better.

Mistakes you may make:

* You try to convince them we are the love of their life

* You will apologize profusely for everything

* Promise to change for good this time

* Try to get them to see that it wasn't really your fault

* Even beg with them to take you back

These mistakes you make without thinking about them, as you are too overwhelmed with emotion to think clearly. You are hurting, you want to make your ex feel hurt too and you want them to realise how much they really do love you. But when you think about it these are the exact things that are pushing them further away. If the roles were reversed would these actions make you regain your love for an ex? Probably not.

The first step is to straighten yourself out. You need to be thinking straight before you can even begin to move on. You need to regain the confidence in yourselves - you are worth it!

If you feel negative then you are going to give off negative feelings and thoughts to everyone you meet. You need to deal with your emotions, stop being needy and start rebuilding your life.

This may sound simple but so many of us know that it is not. Try these few tips to help you regain your confidence and start feeling better.

* Stop feeling guilty

* Forget about blame

* Stop sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself. Get out there and do something you love or take up a new hobby.

* Start forgetting. Get rid of everything that reminds you of your ex. Start your new life afresh. Don't do things you did together. You are your own person now. Do things you want to do.

* Start each day on a happy note. Try reading through some break up quotes each morning when you wake up or just do something that will start your day off with a smile.

* Start thinking positive. This is the start of a new life and it will be better than before.

You can be a happy person again. All of us do have this within us!

To even begin to get over a break up you need to be able to focus on moving on. To help you do this I have compiled a list of break up quotes that encourage positive thinking which will in turn give you the help and encoragement to start making changes to your life.

1. "Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally." - Eckhart Tolle

This is another of my favourite quotes as it tells it like it is. If you don't change your situation you will be in it forever. For you to accomplish anything you need to make accept te situation and make changes. Go and do it now!

2. "Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed." - Corita Kent

Live for each moment. Yes you may be suffering from heartache but you can get yourself out of this dark place. This one moment will not last forever.

3. "My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." - Elaine Maxwell

You are the one person that is in control of your life. You make the decisions. You make the decisions. Without trying you will get nowhere and when you do try you will move mountains. Just believe in yourself.

4. "People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success." - Norman Vincent Peale

As I mentioned before believing in yourself is the key. Think of all your good points and what a good person you are and how even better you can become.

5. "You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." - Christopher Columbus

To move on you must leave your past behind you. This is true in any situation, especially the end of a relationship. To move on you must forget the past.

6. "I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I don't need anybody to make me somebody." - Louis L'Amore

YOU are somebody. You don't need anyone else to make you happy only you can do that. There are people who can add to your happiness and even remove some of it but it is ultimately only you that is responsible for your life. At this moment you are the most important person there is.

7. "The first step you take is always the most important one. The first steps you take on any journey won't get you where you want to go. But without those first steps and the many more that follow, you would always be standing right where you are, looking towards the future and wondering what it would really be like to see your world the way you always dreamed it could be. One of the greatest lessons in life is the one you learn about moving forward and taking steps to reach your goals."

Take small steps. Your heart isn't going to heal over night and neither are you going to forget overnight. You need to set a goal and then take those small steps to reach it. Just working towards a goal a little a day will make it buch more obtainable.

8. "To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy . . . is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

If we wake in the morning in a bad mood we are usually in a bad mood for the rest of the day. When the sun is shining and we wake up ready to face the day we usually accomplish more. Bear this in mind and aim to think positive thoughts as soon as you wake up!

9. "The obstacles you face are mental barriers, which can be broken by adapting a more positive approach." - Clarence Blasier

As above, being positive puts us in a better frame of mind to takle anything and when we are positive we usually acheive a whole lot more.

10. "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there!" - Will Rogers

This quote speaks for itself. You will accomplish nothing if you just sit back and let life get ahead of you. Decide what you are going to do and do it, no one else will do it for you!!

If after reading these break up quotes you just cannot bare moving on from your ex. Maybe that even after following all the advise that has been given here you still cannot bear life without your ex. In that case you can always try to salvage your relationship and get them back.

This also will not be easy. But there are ways to do this and making the mistakes mentioned above are only going to push your ex partner away even further. So you must still follow this advice to be able to get anywhere. A cooling off period or break is for around a month is always a good option. During this time you can get yourself into a better and positive frame of mind.

Do not plead or beg, just agree with the break up - for now - while you get your thoughts and emotions under control.

Write a SECOND CHANCE LETTER to your ex to show that you are fine with the break up. Let them feel that your the one knocking them down!

Think about why your relationship ended in the first place and work out how you maybe able to change these things. Or think about, if you think these reasons are invalid, whether the relationship is worth saving. Try writing a list of positive and negatives to help you weigh up the relationship.

Think about why you want to get back together and then review this after the cooling off period. Sometimes, after a month of doing other things, our thoughts will be totally different.

If one of the reason's that the relationship ended is because your partner had an affair you must decide within yourself whether you will truly be able to forgive and forget and try to establish the cause of the cheating and decide whether you think that they will do it again.

If it was you that had the affair the first thing you need to do is apologize. But this must be done correctly to gain forgiveness. Do not apologize too soon, as mentioned before leave a cooling off period, and when you do apologize always be truthful and sincere.

During the cooling off period regain your confidence so that when you meet up again your the person they fell in love with in the first place. This will help recapture that romance you had when your love was new.
