Love

 Right now, you probably wish you never loved this person. That’s a natural reaction. The pain is still so fresh.

But in due time, once you’re over it, you realize how powerful and beautiful love is.

Your capacity to love this person is a reflection of you. You have managed to see the best in someone.

This is beautiful. It’s also something you’ll be able to do again, after you’ve managed to get over the heartbreak of unreciprocated love.

One of the hardest parts of getting over love that is not returned has to do with the mind games you will experience. Your brain is going to play some nasty games with you. It’s going to feel like torture.

You are going to question everything you think you know about yourself: you’ll feel like you aren’t good enough. You’ll feel like you aren’t worthy. You’ll feel like you’ve failed in some way.

The work you do to get over those mind games are the most challenging and important. Once you are able to wrap your mind around all the things you might be telling yourself, you’ll be able to get on with life in a more meaningful way.

Right now, you are probably placing a lot of your value in the hands of someone who has just rejected you, but in time you’ll see that it was just part of the recovery process.
