At 16, love has to do with everything in the world, except how lovable you are.

Lucky are the souls who could love you. Not everyone, just lucky.

Sometimes we are better off for being unloved by some people, there's no reason to hate yourself for having a story without too many pages including people we wanted our thought we needed. Cute piece either way

My heart hurts just reading this! Excellent, though what format this is in, I do not know.

Very short and brutal, just like heartbreak.

Sad but felt by so many. Nicely succinct Jude.

they should despise themselves for not knowing how to love they way you do so effortlessly.

The average woman by 34 has slept with 20 guys, don't sweat it.

Jernoa_Gustav

There are lots of people out there who, may not be the same, but have the qualities you liked in that person.

Oh my goodness I remember feeling this.... then 3 years alone and then I met the right one which I wholeheartedly didn&#8217;t think was on the cards for me... but at age 41 I&#8217;m finally there... hope xxx

I know that you wrote this a while back, but if you see this- I hope you found that you can be loved by yourself.

Love, is the only cures we wish upon ourselves every day.

Brilliant re-imagining of the classic Hemingway 'nano-novel'. While *'Baby Shoes'* clocks in at four words less, it still is refreshing and inspiring to to see young hearts addressing the challenge. Remarkable craftsmanship, keep it up!

withpurpose

You did not put your pain into ten words, you painted a picture with the ten words that you had and only those adept at interpreting the beautiful colors will see the hurt that torments you. May you find someone worthy of you. Thank you for your painting.

spiritheart67

Maybe that's only because they could not TRULY see YOU! Perhaps it is not you who was not worthy, but them...

eleanor-prince

says so much - cuts to the chase in a painful way that sounds familiar as sadly we will not be able to be all things to all people!

VOIDRESIDENT372

sometimes it feels better to blame ourselves for heart break than to acknowledge that we fell in love with someone that didn't deserve it

Oh my days stop it my heart can not take this much. Beautiful

It becomes a loop when it&#8217;s yourself you&#8217;re trying to love but can&#8217;t.

chichtheteach

Admire yourself for being someone who can always be loved.

tina-m

At the resonance this holds for me... ouch.  Thank you for the eye opening.

truly heartbreaking. you find that you love the other person so much that you find it hard to even blame her for not loving you back. you blame yourself, i wasnt good enough, i didnt do enough, which makes you break even further
