When youre a temporary lover, heartache becomes your best friend.
You have a hard time keeping the relationship alive.
You know what it feels like to have your heart shattered.
Toa Heftiba
When youre a temporary lover, you wonder whether youve been doing something wrong.
Youre good enough to convince someone to date you but not good enough to convince someone to keep you.
After a while, they always become bored.
They break up with you or cheat on you or find someone else.
Theyll leave you alone while they wander off to find someone permanent, someone who isnt you.
When youre a temporary lover, you develop trust issues and commitment issues and abandonment issues.
When youre a temporary lover, you wonder whether theres even a point in dating.
It doesnt seem to matter how much effort you put into someone or how much space you give someone.
Either way, you get the same results.
When youre a temporary lover, you question every single move you make.
You wonder whether youve been going about this dating thing all wrong.
Should you stop using dating apps to find love?
Should you stop moving so fast?
Should you stop moving so slow?
Should you wear something different, act different, text different?
When youre a temporary lover, it can severely lower your self-esteem.
You have to trust that, once you meet them, they arent ever going to leave you.
They arent going to be able to imagine a world without you.
