Our time, our energy, our passion, our affection is never wasted when we truly love.

So often we look at our broken relationships as markers of our failure or success.

When we see people weve parted ways from and we think weve made a mistake.

We think weve wasted so much time with the wrong people and we get anxious over lost time.

We hate ourselves, hate our exes for the time well never get back.

Love can never be a waste.

And there are no wrong people, only lessons.

But we cannot look at these failed relationships as worthless.

Because love is always worth it, no matter the outcome.

So hey, remember that love was never purposeless.

You have never failed just because of a failed connection, relationship, or marriage.
