How do you put yourself together again when youre always left feeling like something is missing?
I fell in love with a man who made me learn how to love myself again.
Who took the time to understand my insecurities and actively fought against them.
God & Man
He made me feel comfortable opening up again.
He made me feel like the world wasnt out to get me.
We were so close that he felt like an extension of myself, like an arm or a leg.
God & Man
He knew me so well that he knew how to crawl under my skin and get into my head.
We didnt want to know what that was like.
And then, one day, he left.
Nothing makes you feel more empty than having a piece of you torn away for good.
And nothing stings more than than when the truth hits you like a slap in the face.
It isnt easy; I know that now.
But it doesnt mean its impossible.
You will grieve that much is certain.
You will hurt until you dont think you’re free to hurt anymore.
It will not be easy, or fast, or painless.
But slowly, surely, you will heal.
It starts with acceptance.
That it hurt to lose it, but that it means it was something worth having to begin with.
Just because it ended badly doesnt mean that it didnt begin beautifully.
And just because things didnt work out in the end doesnt mean it wasnt right.
Tell yourself that it was worth it for the good that came out of it.
Everything happens for a reason, and it changed who you are for the better.
And then remember that it ended for a reason, too, and it isnt your fault.
It isnt because you arent lovable, or that you were messed up, or that you were wrong.
It just wasnt something that was meant to stay.
Life isnt always fair; it doesnt always work out the way we planned it to.
Even if it doesnt feel that way, it is.
Sometimes we have to have our hearts broken so we can put them back together again.
Did they help you realize them?
Did they push you toward them?
But its time to find yourself outside of that and finally understand your own hopes and dreams.
Those are the things no person can take away from you.
You are allowed to grieve.
You are allowed to be sad, to feel broken, even.
But never, ever think that you cant be whole on your own.
Because darling, you already are.
