At the end of each day, I sit down alone. Unlike what she had promised me a year ago, She isn't beside me.
"May be I am root of the problem", I contemplate, "Am I unlovable ?"
But deep down, I realize it's about understanding my own worth and setting boundaries. Life becomes simpler when you recognize your value and focus on what you truly want, rather than desperately seeking love and attention.
Waking up the everyday with a renewed sense of purpose and putting in twice the effort - success and hard work can help divert intrusive thoughts, but knowing how to move on is even more crucial. Take a pause. Reflect on yourself. Indulge in moments of letting go. Letting go of the past is the most important think we miss out. Shift your focus onto yourself and stop chasing after love. Love has a way of finding you when you least expect it.
If you treat yourself inferiorly infront of the mirror - you create a perception that everything outside is 'better than what you deserve'. You'll mistake every basic interaction and show of affection as love.
The day you stop desperately seeking validation from others, life will become easier. And, please, let go of the notion that you're Ryan Gosling from "The Notebook". Life can be a movie, so be male protagonist of your own script.
Remember, people are loyal to their emotions. Nothing can change that, not even you claiming that you'd reject Hollywood stars for them. If they don't appreciate the depth of your adoration or how you prioritize them above everything else, perhaps it's time to reassess your priorities.
