It was a chilly autumn day when Sarah found herself sitting alone in a café, staring blankly at her cup of coffee. After a difficult breakup, the ache in her chest felt unbearable. She had invested so much in the relationship, only to feel discarded and lost. Instead of wallowing in sadness, she recalled the words of her grandmother: “When it hurts, observe. Life is trying to teach you something.”

With that thought in mind, Sarah began to reflect on her experience. As she sipped her coffee, she took note of her emotions—the sadness, the anger, and the sense of betrayal. Instead of suppressing them, she allowed herself to fully feel each one. In this state of observation, she recognized a pattern: she had often compromised her own needs to please others, a habit that had led to her unhappiness.
Determined to learn from her pain, Sarah started journaling about her feelings. She wrote about her dreams, her passions, and the values she wanted to uphold in her future relationships. This process became a source of healing, transforming her pain into clarity. She realized she deserved love that honored her individuality.
