I need to get this off my chest.After my breakup, I told myself a lie. I convinced myself that before I could love again, I had to be completely healed over my past, emotionally strong, perfectly “fixed.” I thought I needed to figure it all out alone before I was ready for someone new.But that’s not how life works. That was the biggest lie I ever believed.Here’s what I’ve learned, you don’t heal first and then find love. You find the right love, and that’s when real healing begins.You find the right person when you’re broken because that’s the time life tests who can actually stay. If someone can hold your hand through your pain, stand beside you when you’re at your weakest, and still see your worth, then they’re the kind of person who’ll stay no matter what.

I used to think love had to be a storm the chaos, the passion, the drama. My past was exactly that a storm that wrecked me and left me in pieces.But real love isn’t a storm. It’s a harbor. It doesn’t wait for you to be perfect it finds you when you’re still trying to rebuild yourself. It’s quiet. It’s steady. It’s that one person who walks in when you’re sitting in the wreckage and says, “I’m not leaving."And she did exactly that.She never tried to fix me she just stayed.She listened to me talk about my past for hours without judgment.She believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself.She made me feel safe again.And when she wasn’t around, it felt like something in my world was missing.

But I was too scared to call it what it was. I kept her in the friend zone because it felt safer than being vulnerable again. That was my biggest mistake.Now I know the only thing worse than being broken is realizing you pushed away the one person who was helping you heal.This is my last post here. I’m done hiding behind screens and fear. I’m going to find her and tell her the truth. She was never just my friend. She was the one who made me believe in love again.I just hope I’m not too late.

Wow, that’s such a powerful realization! It’s true that love can be a great source of healing. Don’t be too hard on yourself for wanting to be “perfect” before moving on. The right person will see your scars and still want to be there for you. Just remember to take your time and let the healing happen naturally. Open your heart when you feel ready, and don’t hesitate to lean on those who care about you. You got this!
