my truth as a hopeless romantic. 🥀the words that choke me breathless.

I’m ready for my happy ending…

Why does it feel like it doesn’t exist? I wear my heart and I give it openly. But somehow every time I hear the same things so wearily. ‘You’re amazing but…’ and ‘I think the world of you but…’ ‘It doesn’t mean I think you’re a bad person but…’ it always ends with the same. The only difference this time is I actually sat there and let the tears fall out my eyes when I heard you begin to say the things they always say. And that’s when I realized the future I was painting you in was just an imagination of my hopelessness. A romance I was never even truly living… how did I convince myself again that maybe this was the soul I was searching for? A fool is who I’ve been in this lifetime. But they say going numb would be a cop out yet somehow I beg to differ because all I ever wanted was to feel to something. Passion. Lust. Seen. Loved. But clearly, I’m not in those spaces…

I don’t want a love that’s hard. I just want a love that is tender and delicate in just the way we hold each others heart.

No reply’s-

Honestly there’s so much I wanna say. So much I want to explain but then I think about all those times you left me on the floor aching because your ego meant more than caring for the “love of your life” and I stop. I gave everything I had. You sucked me dry in more ways I can describe. And here you are again trying to tell me that I didn’t give it a chance. Didn’t give you a chance to be a better man. But you don’t see what you’ve done to me. I was the most vulnerable version of me that I’ve ever been. I felt naked and exposed and you took advantage of that and you nitpicked and you belittled and you degraded until I became numb. You disguised your mediocre efforts by doing the bare minimum and throwing it in my face… while I was trying to build a life with a man who didn’t even know his future had me in it. You manipulated every situation into me trying to control our lives but no one even knew we were building one together if it’s up to you. I kept telling myself our love is enough to get through any obstacles but every time it got hard, you bailed. So at some point, the disappointment just never left and that’s all I had left of the man I loved.

He was no longer the man of kindness and potential. He no longer loved me for my soul or who I was. He was no longer the man I thought I’d spend my life with.

So every time you reach out… I know it’s just cause you’re lonely. And you don’t mean anything you say. Because the man that promised to love me would’ve showed me and not wait til it’s completely too late.

setting healthy boundaries is an act of self care—it isn’t selfish to protect your personal space ✨💡

This is just a reminder that you have fought and you have survived. You have fought through the hard times and the toughest challenges. There’s no need to continue being in survival mode. You can live now. ✨🧡

Figured out I am my own soulmate.

I'm the one who is going to be here for my whole life, my longest companion.

Might as well love myself during this lifetime on this body.

Leave space for your emotions. If you feel something, validate it. Do not repress it, do not criticize it, do not judge it. Emotions are not meant to be logical, they are not meant to make sense. They are just meant to be.
