1. You learn that nothing stays forever

Your partner promised never to leave you for another person. Now you have called it quits. Heartbreaks teach us that nothing in this world lasts forever. He or she can promise to love you forever but most of them do not keep this promise.

2. You discover self-fulfillment

Heartbreaks will teach you the importance of self-fulfilment. You will understand that your happiness doesn't depend on someone else. Through heartbreaks, you will learn to find happiness in yourself. 

3. You will learn to prioritise yourself

We never learn to prioritise ourselves until we meet the wrong people. After a painful heartbreak, you will start prioritising yourself more than anyone else. You will understand that painful moments will only hurt you and no one else. 

4. You understand what it means not to depend on a single individual

You made him/her everything in your life. Your partner was your hope but now they are gone. A heartbreak will make you understand what it means when you entrust your entire life to someone. Trusting someone too much with your life can lead to pain and regrets.
