"This big heart was a forgiver. The heart was so large that it didn’t know how to give up on people and circumstances, because it always believed in the good in those it loved. This kind of heart can be both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it allows for deep connections with others and the capacity for great compassion and empathy. On the other hand, it can leave the heart vulnerable to pain and betrayal.

At some point, the heart realizes that it can no longer continue to give to those who have repeatedly hurt it It recognizes that in order to protect itself, it must let go of those who have caused it harm and focus on healing its own wounds. This can be a difficult and painful process, but it is ultimately necessary for the heart to continue to function and love fully.

In the end, a big heart that learns to let go of those who have caused it harm can become even stronger and more resilient. It can continue to love deeply and fully, while also setting healthy boundaries and protecting itself from further harm.- a big heart
