an emotional illness of the heart that can somewhat affect one's psychological balance.
The most depressing moment one can possibly encounter is having a heartache. It can hurt you like you are undergoing a serious medical operation, being hit by lightning, and losing in a competition. And whether we admit it or not, having a heartache creates a big impact in each and everyone of us.

Here are just few of the reasons why a person experiences a heartache:
- Being dumped for another or just simply losing the feelings.
- When the person can't reciprocate one's love.
- Death of a loved one.
And whether one deserves it or not, it's inevitable. It's something that one cannot escape from in just a few minutes, even if it's decided to be ended.

And since it's inevitable, the effects of a heartache are contagious to every aspect of one's life. Relationsips with other people (e.g family, friends, colleagues) can be ruined. Sometimes, some people can't work properly at school or work. Then, it will lead one to self-pity or low self-esteem. Then from there, one's life would be a mess.

In some cases, one would try to escape through alcoholism, excessive partying, shifting the focus at work or career, or love on the rebound. In short, escape-mechanism.
***
Some take medications (or should I call it):
- Crying it all out until it's gone
- Writing songs or poems, or other art-involvement
- Confronting the person
- Seeking psychological or professional help
***
Whether in a positive or negative way, a heartache definitely molds one's character or personality. And in whatever way a heartache might mold one person , it will definitely turn one into a better person eventually.

So no matter how painful a heartache can be, one should not take it as if it's the end of the world. Learn the lessons and live the learnings. It's definitely normal to feel angry and sad, but don't let it stay in you. For sure, after a heartache, a bright tomorrow is right ahead - be it for your lovelife or career, or both.
