Having seen breakups doesn't doom you to repeat them

When you've seen your parents, a relative or friends who seemed strong split up, "forever" can sound naive. Without meaning to, their story turns into a prediction: if they couldn't, you won't be able to either. That experience deserves to be looked at calmly, because it leaves a mark: fears, learned ways of arguing, questions with no easy answer. But it doesn't write in advance what you are going to decide. You can ask for help, learn what you saw was missing and commit yourself knowing better what's at stake. Nobody guarantees you a life without difficulties. Hope isn't believing you're invincible, but knowing that love can be learned and that your story is still to be written.
