At some point we may stop idealizing people or guarding dearest idea’s.
We need to realize most heartbreak is not losing. It is losing the version of them we created in our minds.
And that process teaches us something valuable.
We never should make passion the center of our story.
Not because love is not important.
But because when it becomes our only meaning, it can break us.
It’s meant to fall. But there is power behind humiliation.
Well we do have the chance to build another fuller life.
Work. Goals. Friends. Interests. Rewards .
Growth.
They do not replace love. They give it balance.
And the exciting part is this ...
When we live this way, we do not just love others better.
We keep ourselves whole, filled with quiet joy.
