My heart was still healing, still mending itself little by little.

Never let your past experiences harm your future.
Your past cant be altered and your future doesnt deserve the punishment.

The first rule of being single is to love yourself before ever entering a relationship.
Its a rule that we know all too well.
What do you do when someone meets you in the middle of your storm?
The thought of loving another person seemed far out of reach for me.
I truly didnt think I was capable of romantically loving another human.
You wonder if you have the slightest bit to offer.
My heart was still healing, still mending itself little by little.
I just couldnt get over how genuine he was.
I couldnt get over how much my heart fluttered every single time he looked my way.
Everything began to evolve rather quickly.
Feelings I forgot I could feel, I was feeling, again.
Emotions I didnt know I had anymore were happening, again.
I admired the confidence he had in his being.
I loved the dedication he had not only for me, but also for every corner of his life.
For the first time, I was falling in love with someone who was so full of life.
The best part of this is someone so self-assured, and so courageous was wholeheartedly, choosing me.
I dont think it gets better than that.
I remember crying my whole ride home after I met his family.
It wasnt sad tears; it was the purest form of my heart mending.
I was crying, because I would finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
He met me in my darkness and lit my entire world up.
A healthy relationship can assist you in loving yourself again.
It can guide you in healing your broken soul.
I was still able to love the people around me.
I was able to be by someones side and heal my heart at the exact same time.
I learned that I am deserving of love, just as everyone else is.
Dont deny someone solely because you feel you arent ready for love.
You could be missing out on the very best love you have ever felt before.
Dont let a bitter and destructive love tear apart the chance of happiness in the future.
Dont let the past consume your future.
Let the past be the past.
