Victoria Morgan - How to Succeed in Heartbreak

[@alexandran.6395]

"Go to museums and realise that other things have history too." I loved that.

[@Dabblewme]

Right. So true. Perspective is an awesome gift.

[@chado3000]

A lot of people need to learn this. History used to be taught in grade school. Nowadays they don't even teach it in college. And yes, this is among the greatest of modern tragedies. How can we know where to go when we don't know where we've been?

[@englishtutorial5160]

Broken but beautiful enough to be strong

[@juniorvelez6541]

Yea this hit hard

[@sarahh4021]

She really went through this; and made it. I love it.

[@Hi_Jr]

people need hugs

[@lcurrant4565]

She nailed heartbreak, with breath, with dignity, with poetry.

[@englishtutorial5160]

I love her expression

[@ItsNotASara]

"I'm not broken, I'm just a little more explosive." Yas queen. Thank you so much.

[@englishtutorial5160]

That's true

[@dancerlove456]

"It's remembering you were okay before!" MEGA CHILLS.

[@jagsoccer28]

Oo

[@MariellaA94]

"Why apologize for loving until you burst?" Amazing.

[@lowerthanpacific5281]

Mariella what does this mean

[@montsedewargaytan]

"Write. Write until you use every metaphor in your life whether you start using the same one over and over because there are just so many ways to describe being destroyed"

[@Foxstream]

This. This. I'm in tears. "You might as well tape your eyelids to your forehead because at least you can lie to yourself when you're awake"

[@KandiBabyy]

Foxstream yes, me too

[@kai.965]

Can you explain that one? :)

[@RudeSnipe]

Yeah, it means that when you sleep, reality creeps in about how you really feel. That's why you can't sleep.

[@victorymatthew3745]

​@@RudeSnipeI wouldn't even guess that meaning prior to seeing this. Thanks for the clarification

[@haehnchenmarinade]

the line I still love the most is "no one succeeds in heartbreak". It is such a simple line, compared to the other wonderful metaphors and wordplays she uses in this poem, but I feel like that line is the..turning point. She lists off all these things you could do, how to succeed and in the end it's just that. It's a miserable feelings, but everybody goes through it, everybody loses. And there's no succeeding a loss. Thank you for this wonderful poem. As someone who just went through a breakup, it first made me feel sad, then a little gigglish and lastly powerful. I'm not okay, and that is okay. Because everyone is a little not-okay once in a while.

[@jasminegarcha1067]

There is no lose, there is only learn

[@huntermeek7450]

that's so true!!

[@freedomheart2444]

[@FernCoulson]

I love how she went from funny to serious and flitted between the two. It really made the message clear and the serious bits all too emotional. x

"Kiss... as many people as you need to take the stamp of his lips out of your brain"

[@8brendapooh]

Just ended a nine year relationship because he got someone pregnant, the baby was born a few days ago. I’ve never been so broken. This poem is more than entertainment. It’s motivation, it’s courage, it’s reality. Thank you for giving me strength when I need it the most.

[@drapoler]

I hope you heal, I hope you are okay, in my case he ended a 8 year relationship, we were engaged, and were getting married in a month, not only he left me broken, he left me in debt, he left me because he couldn't understand I was getting a manic episode from all the stress. This was 8 years ago, and I'm still healing. Sometimes I remember him fondly and it hurts, but I will heal and forget him, I know I will

[@jordanmccall7485]

"Because there are things you never got to say and you don't have to swallow them ." Oh my god so amazing

[@DianouilleFripouille]

I don't know if you'll ever read this comment Victoria, but thank you, thank you so much, I needed this poem so badly and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[@my0nick0my0love]

+Diane Berger Indeed not the only one. It's taken time...at first the beginning of the poem is what I felt most attached too, but as time has passed I have begun to believe in the ending she speaks about- something that I thought was not possible. Friends, it truly is.

[@ChicaRawwr]

+Diane Berger No, you're not

[@haleybean5656]

"Use his name, the one that still hurts to say, and use it as a war cry... Then actually cry"

[@danielleward5291]

"There are only so many ways to describe being destroyed." God, this hit me so hard.

[@louiguban5370]

"......Talk to yourself, talk to yourself in the mirror, on public transportation, in the middle of the fountain at the mall!" "HAHAHAHA LMAO THAT'S CRAZY FUNNY" "......Because, there are things you never got to say And you don’t have to swallow them." "HA...HAHA...HA.........*cries*"

[@shepherdg4be]

lmao that was literally me

[@MaddyLaLaLove]

Gabriel Shepherd same 🤣😭😭

[@asseater0077]

This poem is exactly what I needed. I will not apologize for loving till I burst

[@alb1556]

Every single quote from this poem is gold and I will probably never forget this

[@eminek8526]

have you?

[@kai.965]

:)

[@jasmine-cn2lq]

i come back to this poem every couple of years whenever i’m heartbroken. i’m back.

[@alexandrasalazar6119]

Me too

[@corbyyanez9022]

“Heartbreak is not about being okay it’s about remembering you were okay before” 😻

[@xxmcrchick33xx]

I just came out of a 3 year relationship completely heartbroken. And this poem has helped me get through every hour.

[@queenofcookie3299]

I am so proud of you

[@eminek8526]

Queen Of Cookie32 ❤️

[@jasaiworld]

6 years later… hows life?

[@the_wisecrack9472]

I remember it was 2017 and I had my first heartbreak and this helped me so much. This poem is a reminder to me that it will be over and you’ll get through it but give yourself permission to grieve ❤️ Thank you!❤️

[@PrincesseZoeee]

"Im not broken I'm just a little more explosive" this poem broke my already shattered heart and made me realise that a heartbreak can be a good think and make you a stronger person. I need to stop soaking in the emotions and get out and forget about you..

[@theinterstellarfox1172]

The first time the man I loved broke my heart I found you. The man after that, I came back, and after, I came back. Now I’m here again and you give me so much strength every time. One day, I hope to not comeback to your videos, but I will never forget you because your honesty has been a companion to me that I don’t have. Thank you.

[@tanzanitebluefly]

"Brew tea with the bags under your eyes" you really got me there. God it's amazing how your talents spills out and drowns us, honestly. Bravo

[@alessandrapatricia3779]

Victoria maybe never know how much this poem has helped me through the years, the part that she say to cry bc that is nothing shamefull about it is so 🤌

[@the_wisecrack9472]

This is how you grieve. Such and important lesson in the life of being a human

[@1011Koolkatty]

This is probably my favorite poem of all time. It honestly shows what almost anyone goes through; heartbreak, while still being different and diverse all at the same time, without romanticism. The wording is gorgeous and flows off the tongue beautiful. It's exactly how I felt when I had my first heartbreak, and when I have another, I know I can have this poem to turn to.

[@sammi8983]

this poem made me feel things I have not felt a while. the last time I cried until I was trembling, was the night I found out I had been cheated on. over and over. the night my heart was broken. the reason I trust nobody, why I locked myself away and hated the thought of ever being in a relationship again. but this poem made me cry like a baby, the only time since that night that I have cried so hard I couldn't stop shaking. I am a god damn queen, and I'll always remember that. this is my all time favorite poem. thank you for teaching me it's okay not to be okay.

[@succ7421]

"I'm not broken. I'm just a little more explosive."

[@margaretcox5805]

This poem changed my life. I have memorized all the words, watched the video over and over. Heartbreak has never been easy for me. I even got a tattoo to represent this poem. Thank you Victoria Morgan for being the voice and the words I needed to hear when I was crawling through the darkest parts of my life. Thank you.

[@victoria6292]

Holy cow! You got a tattoo after the poem?! I’d love to see it!

[@vociferousvictoria]

"Go to museums. Realize other things have history too."

[@strawberriez0]

I have never fist pumped in the air so hard over a poem before. This is a piece of art that touches the heart. Love this. Thank you so much.

[@evamarieyana1935]

"I am not broken, I'm just a little more explosive" damn, 2020 I'm having a poetry marathon

[@heatht7868]

Wow. Right on. Ugh. I’m going thru heartbreak now. I have no one at all to talk to. I have to hide the pain from my roommate. It’s like watching yourself die but I’m still living. I’m always feeling like I’m weak because I love so much. When I Love I love hard. Thank you for letting me hear you words so I can stop apologizing for feeling so betrayed and hurt. That was amazing.

[@Nejidabest]

"Why apologize for loving until you burst?" GAH !

[@lilajade352]

One of my favorite slam poems ever. She truly captures every aspect of having your heart ripped out of your chest

[@WildInLoveDK]

This poem is so me it's scary... I found this poem right when I needed it the most. Thank you Victoria Morgan for the words that saved me.

[@jasmineserrano8004]

GURL. Yes. I can't even find words... This was everything. Thank you.

[@flowercomet4436]

THATS MY FAVORITE ENGLISH TEACHER!!!

[@katiesdewar]

I've watched this probably 35 times and I still cry watching it she's so talented

[@katlynsbooknook6201]

I went through a breakup recently and whenever I am feeling the worst about it I listen to this and it always makes me feel better. I love this poem.

[@kaolee4736]

She speaks the truth. Damn.

[@jesusvillanuevamartinez1887]

Found this in tiktok, like 3 nights ago... and its so true, I feel like this, like I must do this to be okay... because "I am not broken, I'm just explosive"

[@pikachuusneeze]

I've slammed the replay button so many times for this lately.

[@kakalaza2051]

This helps me through my heartbreak. I have been rewatching it every day since he left and Im crying all the time when she says « talk to yourself, [..], because there are things you never got to say and you don’t have to swallow them. » and « kiss as many people as you need to get the stamp of his lips off of your brain »🥺

[@anahitamonfared9721]

This is amazing- she went through all the ranges of emotions and killed it in every single one wow

[@kiannataylor8548]

I am in a happy, loving relationship and can't really think of a time I felt this way, but I come back over and over because I just love the delivery. Well done.

[@austink8304]

I've lost count of the amount of times I've listened to this poem in the past 3 days, and it is still just as good as the first time I heard it.

[@SkyeBuller]

"You're a goddamn queen" yaasss girl

[@WynaPaolaGagliano]

I always come back to this poem. every single time

[@haleymariah10]

This is exactly what I need while I get over my heartbreak.

[@samanthachapman9694]

+Haley Saurus Me too it helped me realize things I didn't before. It made me cry but I learned things.

[@jewelrye7974]

Coming back here after a heartbreak 2 yrs ago. I did what she said. I let myself feel all the pain for months until i can't feel the pain anymore. Going back every night to everything that hurts me became my routine. One day, i realized i can't feel anymore. My heart probably became desensitized with the pain. Then i started again. Before i knew it, i was already better. That's what i learned. You must face the pain and let yourself feel it is the quickest way to get over a heartbreak instead of constant avoiding it and keeps finding someone that will tend it. At the end of the day, it's you who should be helping yourself.

[@MaybeMadison]

One of the best slam poems I've heard. She absolutely killed it

[@jenniferthompson4654]

I've watched this like 5000 times it helps a little every time I love "there are things you never got to say and you don't have to swallow them"

[@biancareis5799]

This video is one of my favorites in the whole world. It welped me many times in my life, especially the ones that i need to cry the most. I just love this poem

[@stephanienewbrough4546]

Fierce... I could listen to this over and over... Just another person who needed to hear this. Love it. Thank you for being so awesome.

[@aliciajcarranza]

I remember watching this before getting my heart broken and thinking how powerful it was. Now, it hits me so much I can't even fathom words to say how truly incredible this is and how much feelings run through my body taking in every word. wow.

[@citruslolly1135]

"Or the dreams of him holding your jaw like it meant something to him" that really makes people think and feel. just brilliant.

[@9estefania]

I can't stop playing this video and cry along, I feel so identified with this poem, truly spoken form the heart

[@deagarzon4292]

I've loved this for more than a year. Victoria taught me to embrace heartbreak, to not be afraid of feeling. Each one of them, as painful as they've been, has made me a little "more explosive" 💜

[@alexamoreno2644]

there are no words to describe how wonderful this is how genius this is

[@marciskaodendaal4445]

this video helped me through my first ever breakup with my first love. thank you. i hate the quotes on tumblr telling me everythings gonna be okay and that ill find someone new and that ill be okay. mabey one day. but let my cry dammit. let me cry till i cant and let me fall asleep crying untill one day his name or face or even existance wont haunt me anymore. i dont miss him i miss the "me" before him. i miss the me i was before i everet him.

[@ariegebizanti3404]

I can watch this a million times and the sensation never fades. This is my SOS video whenever I am reminiscing

[@emilycarson2256]

I wish there was like an hour long loop of this so I didn't have to keep starting it over. This is helping me through so much

[@drcalisan]

This poem helps so much, I love the honesty and courage it has

[@solitaryutterances]

I watch these for the poetry, sure...but also for the audiences. I love their reactions. So supportive and so funny.

[@madisonrene8248]

I love the beautiful honesty and how liberated she (or you) feel(s) because everyone needs this at some point and it is honestly stunning.

[@josephine5924]

I always come back to this poem. This is art.

[@xNoToUrZx]

Rewatching to get that feeling again. The one where I really don't care that I'm hurting, because hurting makes you stronger

[@AuthenticTeeCee2.0]

[@writtenfromthesky3828]

This is beautiful. A friend of mine sent this to me and I'm really glad he did. It's very inspiring. It's heart wrenching that she understands and has also been through the pain of heartbreak.
