Be very careful to whom you give a piece of your heart. Everything and everyone goes away in the end… and if they have a piece of your heart, they will take it with them. Make sure they are truly worthy of such a treasure because ultimately you can never get it back.
*New Moon Spoilers* New Moon was my least favorite book in the Twilight Saga because of how painfully emotional the story is at that point. When Edward leaves, Bella is left with the feeling that her sole, her heart, is torn to shreds. Silence is a tomb and screaming relieves some of the pressure from that grenade that is exploding inside. Shouting does not stop the pain, but unavoidably it will get others to pay attention… and maybe, although stubbornly, that can lead to a path of healing. Unfortunately, the heart will never be complete again. You heal enough to face the day, but you will always have the hole.
Although New Moon was my least favorite book, so far it is my favorite movie of the saga. There are several reasons for this that will most likely be explained in a different entry. I see so much of myself in Bella’s depression without Edward. As I was driving to work today I was thinking about how amazingly well Kristen Stewart brought that pain to life. If you have never experienced that great feeling of loss, then you might think that the part was seriously over-acted… or maybe you just deal with the pain differently. From my point of view, Kristen could have been basing her actions from watching a movie of my life in years past. I could just be an over-actor, but I am what I am… and I can recall at least three occasions in which I felt such a great loss.
The most recent lost piece of my heart was the passing of my Granny Barbara back in 2003. Six years later and the pain of losing her is still as fresh as if she passed today. I tell myself that she is still with me so that I can soldier on and resemble a whole person again. When Granny died, a piece of me went with her. Was it worth the pain that I now carry? Absolutely.
