Top 10 list: movies to mend a broken heart

 

We’ve all been there. At one time or another, you hand your heart over to the one you love only to face total rejection or circumstances that keep you apart. There are few things in life as emotionally painful as this. Often you feel like you can’t go on, or you will never find someone that is right for you. You may need some time to heal your wounds after love smacks you around like this. What better medicine for these pains than an escape into a world where the laws of reality no longer apply? A place where anything can happen at any time to anyone. A place where that nerdy guy always gets the beautiful cheerleader. But most of all, a place that shows us that even when we think life couldn’t be any harder, when we are down and out with our heart ripped out and tossed on the floor, that good can still find us. Maybe, all that pain happened for a reason. Maybe, it was just meant to help us grow. Maybe, the person that helps us through that pain is the person we were meant to be with.

That’s why movies are the best medicine for real life pains. As fantastical as they can be, often times they are more realistic than we think. Many times they can teach us valuable lessons or show us that just when we think we are at the end, it could really be just the beginning. Sometimes it’s not even that complicated. Sometimes, watching a movie just makes us feel better. So, fear not, broken-hearted one:
