Self-love
And yes, before I go. Let me make this post.
I have been focusing on myself lately, everything in the background is just a blur to me. It’s not that I am creating this huge gap between me and the ones I love. It’s more like learning to love myself so that I can give the best version of myself to the people I love, without restrictions, without caring what other people think, these are just a blur to me.
Sometime this year, I had another heartbreak when me and current boyfriend took a break. I guess it took a toll on me for about 5 days. I’m used to the feeling of crying secondary to a heartbreak, it doesn’t get any better but you’ll get used it, no, it’s more like you’ll know how to handle the situation better. I’ve been through a series of heartbreak in my life. But I’ve never felt so helpless back when I had my major one-- so this time around I knew how to handle it.
I was told over and over to find happiness in myself, not rely on a person for it because once they’re gone, you’ll find your world crumbling. Starting at zero because you forgot how to be alone. I guess I hated that feeling, the feeling of finding peace in your alone time. So when me and boyfriend broke up, I tried to focus on myself, my family and friends-- these matter most to me. I was a bit extreme on this part that until now I’d still find it difficult to set dates, that’s just me being perfectly honest. I guess it’s a defense mechanism I developed that won’t get me attached to other people in a flick of a wand, you know what I mean?
I love to go on dates with my family and friends, kind of like a getaway from life. I’m just really scared to be attached to one person completely and when they’re gone I’m just like a blob of slime, so lifeless haha. Thus, I prefer spending time with other people and of course myself, my boyfriend already noticed this. He had this lapse of tampo before saying why won’t I spend time with him. Can’t blame him though. But I’m trying my best not to be detached completely. I just can’t never be assured without that ring on my finger lol.
Anyway, what I’m saying is I feel like I’m more confident now. I have the certainty that no matter who comes and goes, it’ll be able to pick myself up.
