True story teller

Falling in love is the most beautiful feeling, ever. But sometimes, you end up unloving yourself just to love that person. Many people fall into this trap of doing anything for love. What is that anything? Efforts? Alright, great. Loyalty? Always, perfect. Care? Great thing, well done. But killing your own happiness to keep the love alive? Su***de, plain and simple. And most people commit this su***de with a smile on lips. They dig their own grave and they dance on their own funeral on that selfless love long. Yes, love can make you that blind, that stupid. At least thousands of people have admitted to me that they have been so stupid. It goes something like this “You won’t believe what I did for that person. I have ruined my entire life to make the relation work. But in the end what I got? I lost everything, my friends, my life, my smile, my self-respect, my peace.”

And that makes me write this. Please for your own sake, please don’t romanticize sacrificing your self-respect to keep love. It’s a dumb idea that will haunt your soul forever. A love that needs you to cut down on your self-respect, your smile, your friendships, your career, or your family must be cut off immediately. It’s a warning sign of the highest severity. That person is just tightening the grip on your throat with that control. If you accept to adjust now, you will be choked further. And before you know it, it will get so suffocating that you would want to rather die than stay in that toxic relationship. Love should make you feel free and happy. Happiness. I repeat, happiness is what love is about. You should make that person happy. And that person should make you happy too. It’s about that mutual respect and care. And when you really love someone, you want to see that person happy, always. The tragedy happens when only one person’s happiness matters to both the people. It sounds so selfless and romantic, but it’s a dagger to your own heart wrapped as a bday present. Please don’t kill yourself t
