I was 14 when I first thought I had fallen in love. He was a junior in high school and I was a freshman. We met at our church's youth group. I was only allowed to date him through church activities. My mom also allowed him over to the house after Sunday worship.
The memory that stands out for me is a fight we got into one Wednesday night at youth group. Often I'd arrive early and I would look forward to spending the extra time with him. On this particular night, I said something that wounded his ego. He physically attacked me. A friend of his was there and was able to get him to stop. I remember his friend yelled, "Stop! What are you doing?"
Like most nights after our youth group, he would take me home. I had held back the tears the whole evening. As soon as I got out of his car, I remember running down the stairs to the front of the house and crying. My heart was broken.
I did stay with him until I finished my Freshman year and moved to Phoenix. That night changed any doubts of me moving away from him. I didn't want to be with someone that I feared. So it made it easier for me to leave and start a new life.
What got me through my heart break was music. I fell in love with the band Chicago. I listened to their lyrics of love and heartbreak that brought me tears to ease my pain.
To this day I rely on music as a way to connect with my pain body and for healing. Music effects our mood and our overall well being. Don't underestimate the power of music. It can transform your suffering. Our lives are a symphony strung together with emotional highs and lows. If you could put these moments to musical notes, you would hear the Music of the Spheres.
