Listen carefully, she said, there shall be a moment in your life when you give a person your heart in an old shoebox like sugarcoated chocolate. If the time comes that you open the box to uncover ashes of broken glass and dead birds and noxious wasps, you will scoop the shards into your hands like watermelon seeds: Black spears of anguish that you will pin between your breasts. You will move on.

She then traced her fingers above her collarbone to expose what certainly was hundreds of kernels, laced together in tidy chains around her heart.

Hmm... And what about when it's best to completely leave those shards behind, as well? I've never had to take them along.

Utilitarianism: A doctrine where the end consequence of an action should result in the most happiness over the least pain... I am a utilitarian.

Well, theoretically, if you heart is broken, you cannot leave the pieces of your heart behind and never love again. You need to pick your heart up and say "it's done... Now I have to start over".

Memories and feelings of SPECIFIC events can be left behind, but that is not what I am writing about.

Oh, sorry, translated that one wrong. xD I thought that you meant to pick up the box with the heart that someone else gave you that you broke (even if on accident.)

I can see how someone may think that... Sorry for the fuzziness.

No problem. ^.^ Thanks for clarifying. =]

Random thought - if someone could make a profession of mending other's hearts, I wonder if it would be a lucrative business. o.O It's more of an abstract, playful thought - nowhere near literal. xD It's just, in the tangible world, you break something, and unless you're skilled enough at fixing it yourself, you go to someone to fix it...

I don't know if I'd be the right kind of person to write it, myself. xD Hmm... I'd actually think that would be great in your writing style! =3

xD
I'd definitely have to think about that...

But of course, if I did end up writing something like that, I would give you all the credit for the idea =D

Thank you! ^.^ It seems like something you might be good at writing. =] That tiny concept I said is so vague though that it could be the base idea at most. That would make it very open to imagination and manipulation! ^.^
