Titanium
This word has taken on such a different meaning to me since my last boyfriend tried to melt the titanium ring I gave him. This word is supposed to stand for strength and resilience but to me it just means heartbreak.
It means the day I thought my soul couldn’t shatter into more pieces.
Since I have moved on from him, I have found another man. If you read “The Battle,” a story that I wrote, you can see this might be worse for me. I have seen, though, that I do have value. Even if I’m broken to myself, someone loves me. Even though as I’m writing this, I’m crying because I might lose this man too. I saw through him that forgiveness is possible no matter what.
I’m not going back to the ex that made me hate the word titanium, but I can at least truly move on in my heart and forgive him. After all, it takes forgiveness to live your life and move on. You are strong and you are titanium. I’m just learning this. Please save yourself a lot of pain and learn it quicker then I did.
