Love is magical and healing in so many different ways, but one thing it can’t do is change another person’s feelings for you. I’m coming to learn that other people aren’t the only beings that break our hearts; sometimes, we’re the culprit ourselves. As someone who has romanticized toxicity I decided was love and chased far too many people who didn’t want to be caught, I could be considered an expert on the subject. I’ve broken my own heart more times than I can count. I’m finally starting to pick up the pieces, though. I’m finally learning the right way to let go and move forward. After some (a whole lot, actually) self-reflection, I’ve noticed a few common themes that showed up in the trials and tribulations of my self-inflicted wounds. Maybe you’ve experienced some of these too. (At least I hope so. Otherwise, this rant will be wildly unhelpful to you! I apologize in advance if that’s the case.) Below are three ways you break your own heart . Recognise these signs when they creep up on you and maybe you will save yourselves some heartaches 1. Repeatedly explaining yourself to someone who is committed to misunderstanding you. 2. Loving someone in hopes it will make them love you back. 3. Distracting yourself from your one life, rather than truly living it. Moving forward, I hope you choose yourself. I hope you stop breaking your own heart. And I hope you start giving yourself the love you deserve most, and that’s the love that comes from yourself.
