She built her cathedral from the splinters of her shattering.

Heartbreak. But really what is happening is heartshape. You are being molded and mended into the person you are to become. The ache that sets in are growing pains. It will all fall into place. The wounds will scar and in time fade. For now, stay removed but not closed off. Keep strong but not defiant. Learn to give love even when you are unable to receive it. Wear courage not as a mask, but as armor. Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life.
