“You are not a terrible person for wanting to break up with someone you love. You don’t need a reason to leave. Wanting to leave is enough. Leaving doesn’t mean you’re incapable of real love or that you’ll never love anyone else again. It doesn’t mean you’re morally bankrupt or psychologically demented or a nymphomaniac. It means you wish to change the terms of one particular relationship. That’s all. Be brave enough to break your own heart.”
Excerpt From: Strayed, Cheryl. “Tiny Beautiful Things.”
break-up is not the operative word to use in my reality here as it wasn't a committed, honest thing. neither is love, but it was a lot like it.
and if there is one thing authentic about this whole pathetic fiasco, it is the breaking of one's own heart, no holds barred and being brave about it. even if it costed me my pride and my ego.
