Being broken Quote by Hilary Maye
“For whatever reason, loving someone gives you purpose. It fills you with hope, joy and a sense of optimism. But when that person leaves you; abandons your love without warning, what do you do? You are left in love, alone and desperate to feel that sense of belonging and worth again.”
