There comes a point in life where we desperately want what we cant have.

It is truly one of the most difficult things someone can go through.

Our hearts are set on the one thing we want the most.

Liking someone who is already in a relationship is truly a struggle.

You almost feel like you are strapped but cannot reach out because that persons heart is already taken.

You know you want this person but cannot have them.

This person was not yours to begin with.

The situation came about on its ownyou just happened to like this person.

As time passed, you eventually found out eventually their heart was already taken by someone else.

Someone beat you to it and took that place you wanted so badly for yourself.

How does one handle this pop in of situation?

This isnt how you wanted things to be.

Liking someone who is already taken makes you feel so many emotions you cant even explain.

The more time you spend with someone who is already taken, the more you want them for yourself.

You immediately find yourself picturing all the possibilities of you and your crush together.

Your heart aches for this person because you want them so badly for yourself.

In our minds, we have a perfect vision of ending up with the person we desperately want.

Those are just fantasies, not the reality of the situation.

The truth of the matter is that whats meant to be will always be.

Whats meant to be ours will always be ours.

How do we let go of someone we want but cannot have?

As human beings, we cannot unlike someone we already like romantically.

Life doesnt work that way.

As hard as it is, we have to feel that pain of not getting what we want.

With pain comes wisdom.

With wisdom comes strength.

It is absolutely okay to keep that person you like as a friend.

You want to have that person in your life because they mean so much to you.

You feel wrong for even thinking this way.

This isnt you at all.

Once again, our fantasies are playing games with our minds, trying to convince us otherwise.

You hold out hope that things will be different in the future.

You picture yourself finally being able to get a chance to be with the person you like so much.

But what if its not meant to be?

Our hearts are muscles and should be protected at all times.

We need to guard our hearts and really think of certain things that are meant for us.

As humans, our hearts want one thing.

Our minds are telling us otherwise.

Sometimes what our hearts want isnt what is meant for us.

This doesnt mean something better will come along.

Liking someone who is already taken is toxic for both our minds and our hearts.

Some things we just have to let go and let it be.

Accepting the reality of it all is the hardest part.

Protecting our hearts is the most important of all things.

Guarding our hearts as humans sometimes requires us to let go of what we cannot have.

You dont want to be selfish because you want this person all for yourself.

you oughta love and respect yourself more than that.

You would be disrespecting yourself continuing to put yourself in this situation.

You deserve so much better.

You deserve an available heart.

You deserve someone who can give you what you truly need.

A taken heart wont be able to give you what you need.

A taken heart is taken for a reason.

Accepting the situation for what it really is will help us have a peaceful mind.

Most importantly it will help us to move forward.
