love🌸

This one’s from the heart 🫶🏼 READ CAPTION 

For the longest time I believed in the magic of love. I still do but I used to believe differently. I used to believe after watching all these Rom - Com films and reading all those mushy novels that if you love a person, you can change them. It took me years to understand that love changes you when you value it. Love is not always reciprocated. Some people claim to love you because they like being loved by you. It takes a long time to understand that they take more from you and don't give you enough. 

Friendships, Relationships and thankfully troubles and hard times, nothing is permanent. Everything is perishable if not taken care of and not protecting yourself in the process. Take care of your relationships but when they don't reciprocate, let them go. Don't force relationships. Nothing is permanent. Thankfully, memories are. 

Most times while moving on from any kind of trauma, we often forgive the person. But more importantly it's essential to forgive yourself too for letting it happen to you, or staying in a circle for too long or anything. The mistake that we make is that we forget the lesson also. I learnt this really hard that God will keep putting you in the same position, same situation, if you don't learn the lesson. 

I hope these three pointers gave some clarity to someone out there and if it's you, drop a comment with a heart !
