i. do not confuse love and obsession. love is only real if you have a connection on both sides of the relationship. ii. it's okay to not always be happy. occasional sadness is healthy for the soul. iii. life is not fair, at all. you can spend years thinking you're in love with someone while they spend years never thinking about you. iv. do not treat yourself as others treat you. you are who you are, nothing will change that, you might as well love yourself. v. love is rare. people get married all the time but that doesn't mean they love each other. sometimes we just get lonely. vi. feed yourself. your body is a beautiful flower that you must fill with food and nutrients, why would you purposely try to destroy something so wonderful? vii. maybe we were in love, maybe we weren't. either way we're *******. if we were in love then something must have torn us apart, but what? can it be fixed? if we weren't in love, which I'm guessing we weren't, you moved on to another girl who let you wither away.
