Rebuilding After Breakups: Finding Strength in New Beginnings πͺ
Breakups aren’t just about losing someone — they’re about rediscovering yourself. When Marly (not her real name) and I parted ways, it wasn’t just the end of a relationship. It felt like I was closing a chapter of my life that I had poured my heart into. We had dreams, plans, and a shared vision of what the future could be. Letting go of that wasn’t easy. But sometimes, life forces you to pick yourself up, even when you’re not sure where to start.
At first, the silence was the hardest part. You don’t realize how much space someone takes up in your life until they’re gone. The daily conversations, the little check-ins, the plans made together — they all vanish overnight. Suddenly, it was just me, my thoughts, and the weight of everything I’d been trying to build.
I’ll be honest — there were days I felt stuck. I’d wake up and wonder if I was making the right choices. The UK journey felt distant, the music dream felt like a fantasy, and the pressure to succeed weighed heavier than ever. But amidst the confusion, there was one thing that kept me grounded: Gianna.
Being a father changes everything. It gives you a reason to keep going, even when you feel like you’re running on empty. Every time I felt overwhelmed, I’d remind myself that I wasn’t just doing this for me — I was doing it for her. The dream of building a better future, of creating something meaningful, kept me pushing forward.
But rebuilding isn’t just about motivation; it’s about rediscovery. I started asking myself the hard questions: Who am I without this relationship? What do I really want? The answers weren’t always clear, but I knew I had to embrace the process.
One day, I found myself going back to an old notebook where I used to scribble down song lyrics. Music had always been my escape — a way to process emotions when words failed me. As I flipped through the pages, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time: passion. The kind that makes your heart race and your mind overflow with ideas.
A big part of that passion came from my love for music — and my biggest inspiration has always been Nyashinski. There’s something about the way he tells stories through his lyrics that makes you feel every word. His music has been a soundtrack to so many moments in my life. What I admire most is his authenticity — how he pours his heart into his craft and stays true to himself. He made me believe that music could be more than just entertainment. It could be a voice, a movement, a way to heal and connect.
Listening to Nyashinski’s journey — from his early days in Kleptomaniax to his comeback as a solo artist — showed me that it’s never too late to chase your dreams. He made me want to tell my own story, to turn my emotions into something real. That day, as I sat with my notebook, I realized that this wasn’t the end of my story. It was a new beginning.
I started pouring my energy into writing again, crafting verses that told my story — the pain, the lessons, and the hope for what’s next. Music became my therapy, and with each song, I felt a little stronger.
At the same time, I threw myself into my plans for the future. The UK journey wasn’t just a job opportunity anymore; it was a chance to rewrite my narrative. I wanted to show Gianna that setbacks don’t define you — what you do afterward does. Whether it’s building LA’BOND Dynasty, starting the academy, or simply becoming the best version of myself, I knew I had to keep pushing.
I won’t pretend it was easy. Healing is messy. Some nights, the weight of it all felt unbearable. But I’ve learned that growth isn’t always about massive leaps. Sometimes, it’s about showing up every day, even when you don’t feel like it. It’s about trusting that the hard days won’t last forever and that every step forward — no matter how small — is progress.
Now, when I look at the path ahead, I see possibility. The pain of the past doesn’t hold me back anymore — it fuels me. Every dream I chase, every song I write, and every move I make is a testament to the fact that you can rebuild, no matter how broken you feel.
To anyone going through their own version of heartbreak, remember this: endings are just new beginnings in disguise. Take your time, find what lights you up, and never stop believing in your ability to rise again.
This is my journey, and it’s far from over.
