Have you ever been broken? (emotionally of course, if you were literally broken you wouldn't be reading this now, trust me).

Someone you trusted let you down?
What you thought was love turned out to be the opposite?
You put yourself out there and you were totally dissapointed?
And then you sit (some of us stand) and wonder "why did this happen to me?
How could I not have known something like this would happen?"

Truth is; you knew.
People say life is unfair and I do believe them, we've all had our shares of heartbreaks, ups and downs but I am of the opinion that life isn't "totally" unfair... Come on, think about it. The last time you were betrayed by the person you love, you were showed red flags but probably didn't notice them because you either didn't know they were red flags or you were deep into it (head first)
Our eyes are always miraculously opened after we've been let down... I really do not know who in particular designed the human emotions but if I ever get a chance to meet with him/her I'll ask him why he/she thought it was a good idea to make us always desire the people that don't want us and neglect the ones that do...

Yes you knew somehow, somewhere inside you felt something wasn't right. The fact that you knew doesn't make it your fault, we are human, complex beings and most times we don't know if we should follow our instincts when it tells us something's wrong, because sometimes it's right and other times it's wrong.

We however can avoid the reincarnation of similar situations in the future if we "learn", because i do believe that situations we face in life are meant to teach us something. It's from experiences that true wisdom emanates.

So, let life teach you and next time you're in a similar situation, next time you are let down, next time you are heart broken... do not ask "Why" because asking questions we won't find answers to can really distort our minds and drown us in a pool of depressed.

So, ask questions like "What... What was I supposed to learn? What was this supposed to teach me?" these are questions you're likely to get answers to.
Yes, discovering the answers to those questions doesn't make the pain go away but it serves as an alleviant.
