I don’t think people quite understand the power of a broken heart

It can make you do things that you wouldn’t normally do

It will make time stand still

It can break you down in ways you didn’t know were possible

The world looks a little darker for a while  

You will slowly learn how strong you are

The smile you once lost will appear again

That contagious laugh you once lost will again spread

The self-love you once lost will slowly come back

The person you become afterwards is quite beautiful  

You are filled with lessons and love

You look at the world a little differently

With a sparkle you didn’t have before

Hi! My name is Gillian Carter. I am from Monument, Colorado (meaning I love the mountains). I am attending the University of Utah to study Recreational Therapy in hope of going to PT school after I finish my bachelors degree. I love doing anything outdoors, reading, getting coffee, and being with my friends and family! I have always had a love for writing so I hope you guys enjoy :)
