I became indifferent

Keywords: {0}

Near the end of 2020, after 8 long years, I chose to end it. I saw no future, and I was growing more spiteful. It was not serving myself nor my son. I’m a calculated woman and I overthink things until I am sure I have made the best decision, and this was the best decision moving forward. I thought about my son and how it would affect him, and even then, It was still the best decision.

Making an intention to attract others who love us for our depth and inner beauty is a really healthy motivation, otherwise our concern for self-image is a strategy to attract what we already possess inside, and can be missing the point

An example of applying a strategy instead of creating true connection is selling ourselves by trying to impress someone with our idealized image of ourselves, instead of expressing our honest feelings. But we are in fact selling ourselves short. We may cut off our vulnerabilities, which makes us the most lovable, to impress others with our knowledge, our looks, or our judgements and evaluations, which are conditional forms of love. These are strategies to protect ourselves from getting hurt, blocking us from the love we most want.

I now also want to go to these places (or “our places” as the romantic in us would have called them) to feel the way it would have felt if we went there together

Maybe it sucks for others to see us pining for those who have already gone, but hey, sometimes the heart wants what it wants, no matter how stupid it sounds and looks, and there is nothing you can do about it.
