“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens”
— Rumi

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, going through painful experiences over and over can help you grow and become a better person. Each heartbreak or disappointment teaches you something new, and eventually, your heart becomes more understanding and kind. Think about a gardener who prunes a plant, cutting away parts of it so it can grow stronger and healthier—each cut is like a heartbreak, but the plant ends up thriving. If you keep facing your fears and emotional struggles, you'll learn to deal with them better and become more compassionate. Instead of avoiding things that hurt, embrace them as opportunities to grow. This way, your heart will eventually open up to more love and empathy.
