One thing I have learnt, if nothing else so far is that love should not be all encompassing. One life should never be substituted for another and we don’t have to feel something so much that it hurts us for it to be real. It doesn’t need to make you cry, or ache, it doesn’t need to make you scared or needy. It shouldn’t be a love song or a romantic movie, it should be reality. Because all that other shit is just fantasy, a fairytale written by Disney in which we all get saved by a magic prince charming who takes us away from our pain and our past heartbreaks. Someone to make you forget all the bad things. But that doesn’t happen here, life happens.
Its a beautiful fantasy to get caught up in, a beautiful idea that one cant live without the other, but the truth is we can and we have to. The only way to be realistic is to have your heartbroken and to make the mistakes that you have to promise yourself to never make again, and maybe thats only possible by shutting down for a while, or becoming a realist. All i know is being a little bit closed off is far easier than giving yourself away.
I’m not anti love, i’m more of a believer than most, but what i don’t believe in is giving so much of yourself away that you have nothing left.
