"It never gets completely better"

I was talking to a friend of mine and that's one of the last things he said before he left for bed. Yes, heartbreak is terrible and painful and miserable. But I do think that things can get "completely better". It's all up to you, isn't it? I like having hope. I like knowing that everything will work out the way it should. I love knowing that if it isn't meant for me, I don't want it! Everything works out the way it should.. or maybe I'm just overly optimistic? Things do get completely better, wounds heal all the way- that's the beauty of the Atonement, the power of ultimate healing and comfort and knowing that I'm not the only one who's felt that pain or torment. In fact, there's someone who has always felt worse. Besides, there are so many good things that come out of a bad situation that make things better. For example, well.. Mitch and I aren't exactly a BAD situation.. but long distance has been hard... and not knowing has been killer but!

1. I regained my independence and self-confidence.

2. I re-evaluated my goals in life and what I want to accomplish.

3. I've gained a tremendous level of spiritual strength.

4. I've entrusted everything in the will of the Lord.

5. All in all, I've grown and matured, which is really good because I needed to... there's no way I would have been ready for marriage at any point in my past mental state... it's not like I was terribly immature, but I did need to grow (and still have some more growing to do).

6. I understand relationships better now so no matter who I end up with, I will be an amazing girlfriend. =)

It can get completely better... it's all up to you.
