Heartbreaking

I know a little something about heartbreak.

I live it, I've learned it, and I'm learning to live with it. I even have it tattooed on my hip, courtesy of a former heartbreak, thank you for the memories. It's so much a part of who I am that I have to make jokes about it, break out the gallows humor so that people don't start to feel too uncomfortable spending time with emo girl.

I'm not a sad person. People mistake heartbreak with sadness, but I promise, they aren't the same. My heart gets shattered like a dropped tray of ice because I let myself love so hard. Even when people hurt me, even when they aren't worth it, even when they have no idea what they held in their hands before they broke it beyond repair. And when I think of myself, draw a little mental composite sketch of me, my heart pumps red and bloody; my best and worst feature. But I'll never regret any heartbreak.

When it was time to name the burlesque troupe, I had no hesitation in naming us The Heartbreakers. Heartbreak is a right of passage, a badge of humanity, fodder for songs and poems and art. It's a gossamer thread that weaves a connection between us all, and no matter your age when it finds you, it never hurts any less.

I'd like to think that someday, just as a little bit of karma, I might break some hearts, too.
