While a handful of people gravitate towards solitude, the vast majority of us are wired for connection, thriving when we form meaningful bonds. We passionately pursue what attracts us, and in turn, want to be seen, appreciated, and even loved wholeheartedly. Sometimes we dive in with reckless abandon, or idealized enthusiasm. Other times we are fearful, shy, and tentative. Opening our hearts may lead to profound and life-altering happiness, but we are vulnerable, risking intense pain, what-ifs, and regret. What if things don't go as planned? We may be very capable in many areas, but no expert can truly predict and control the desires and whims of the heart. Included are 42 poems that delve into the messy and chaotic themes of heartbreak. These are balanced by 42 poems about reconciliation, healing and hope. Some of the writing is lighter, even humorous; other poems search more deeply for insight.
