Okay, this is a tough one. Stick with me, because this is a bumpy ride.

Ready? Here we go…

If you’ve had your heart broken, you must take responsibility if you’re ever going to get over it.

Phew! I said it! But read it carefully.

I didn’t say take the blame, I said responsibility. They’re not the same thing. Responsibility is the ability to respond – which means you can make different choices next time.
