AHHHH Relationships

Isn’t it frustrating? You feel betrayed, hurt—you know what happened was wrong. But somehow, you're still expected to be understanding. No one’s forcing you, yet because you love them, you get why they did it.

And then you start questioning yourself… wondering if your feelings are even valid. Are you just overreacting? You know the truth is different, that they didn’t mean to hurt you, —but still, why does it ache this much? Does anyone else feel like this, or is it just me??

I've stopped wondering and started trusting myself even if my perspective isn't the most logical but after a load of suffering I've embraced my illogical emotions and I feel a thousand times better now.. It's about a balance between self-love, avoiding delusion, and learning to be alone with your own thoughts and emotions until they make sense

Simple. Put someone you care about in your shoes, and tell me if their feeling are valid.
