Subject: Why Love and Heartbreak are Worth Embracing - Lessons from Makenzie Campbell

Hello friends,

Welcome back 👋

For today's post we're exploring a topic close to all our hearts - the highs of love and the lows of heartbreak. Our guide for this emotional journey is none other than the talented young poet, Makenzie Campbell. Campbell's  poetry collection, "2am Thoughts," is a testament to the power of expressing our deepest feelings, even when they are laced with pain and sorrow​.

2am Thoughts is a exploration of a relationship from its hopeful beginnings at dusk to the heart-wrenching end at midnight, culminating in the healing rays of the dawn. It's a raw and emotional journey that resonates with anyone who has loved and lost, capturing the essence of the human experience in an intimate narrative of poetry​.

Campbell's work prompts us to ask an intriguing question: Is it worth loving, even if we know that heartbreak may be at the end of the journey? This query brings to mind the famous quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson: 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.'

Makenzie suggests that our trials in love and the subsequent pain of heartbreak are not elements to be avoided but rather integral parts of our journey towards self-discovery and personal growth. Through the lens of her poetry, we see that it is in these most vulnerable moments, at our lowest, that we find our strength and move forward with our day.

With this in mind, let's delve into today's journal prompt.

Reflect on a relationship that significantly impacted your life. How did the experience of love and the eventual heartbreak (if it ended) shape your understanding of yourself and relationships? If given a chance, would you choose to relive that relationship, knowing the joy and pain it brought?

As always, I'm eager to hear your thoughts and reflections. Share them in the comments below or on your social media platforms.

Until our next rendezvous.

With all my heart

Your Friend, Austin ❤✌
