I ended it with hate...As much as ever loved

I ended the whole story... by choosing myself.

Many relationships.

Didn't end from hate

But it's caused by fatigue.

Tired of trying to be on one side.

Tired of having to explain repeated feelings.

Tired to feel smaller and smaller.

To make someone comfortable.

Some kind of love

Doesn't make us feel more like ourselves.

But it gradually makes us doubt our own worth.

"Are we not good enough?"

"Where are we wrong?"

"Why is he so easy to choose others?"

These questions are in my head.

Like a never-ending echo.

And one day,

We may cry until there are no tears left.

Not because he wants him back

But because he began to see

We are disappearing from our own lives.

Some people think that choosing yourself is selfish.

But the truth

It is to stop hurting yourself.

It is to accept that

Good love

Shouldn't make us feel worthless.

It's to say to yourself, "That's enough."

Enough not to run after people who never turn around.

Enough not to blame yourself every time love breaks.

Enough not to exchange dignity.

With the words "There is still hope."

Choosing yourself

Not to immediately remove him from life.

It may still miss

Still hurts

There are still some nights that accidentally open old pictures.

But different in that

This time we didn't want to go back.

We're just slowly coming back to ourselves.

Some stories.

We didn't end because of love.

We end

Because starting to love myself more

That's probably the most appropriate ending then.

For a heart that's been through so much pain.

If you're hurting today,

I want you to know

That you're still standing here.

Still breathing

Still trying

It means you're stronger than you think.

And someday,

A new love.

Won't cost you your own identity.

Because you already know that.

You're worth enough.

Even no one chooses you.

You can choose yourself.

And that's enough.

... Read moreหลายครั้งที่เราพบว่าการรักใครสักคนไม่ได้ง่ายอย่างที่คิด โดยเฉพาะเมื่อความสัมพันธ์นั้นเกิดจากความเหนื่อยและรู้สึกโดดเดี่ยว การเลือกตัวเองไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย แต่เป็นการตัดสินใจอย่างชาญฉลาดที่ช่วยให้เราหยุดวงจรความเจ็บปวดและเริ่มฟื้นฟูชีวิตของตัวเอง ในประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวของผู้เขียน การยอมรับและรักตัวเองเมื่อความรักล้มเหลวเป็นก้าวสำคัญที่ทำให้พบความสงบใจ แม้จะยังมีบางช่วงคืนที่คิดถึงเรื่องเดิม ๆ แต่การค่อย ๆ กลับมาหาตัวเองทำให้รู้คุณค่าของตัวเองมากขึ้น และไม่ยอมทิ้งความสุขไปกับความหวังที่ไม่มีวันเป็นจริง อีกทั้งการเลือกตัวเองยังเป็นการตั้งคำถามและทบทวนในใจว่า "เราดีพอหรือไม่" ความเหนื่อยและคำถามนี้เป็นเสียงสะท้อนที่ทำให้ตระหนักว่าความรักที่ดีนั้นควรเสริมพลังให้กับเรา ไม่ใช่ทำให้เรารู้สึกว่าตัวเองไร้ค่า สำหรับใครที่กำลังเจ็บปวดจากความรักหรือความสัมพันธ์ที่ทำให้รู้สึกหมดแรง อยากให้รู้ว่าน้ำตาที่ไหลเป็นสัญญาณของความเข้มแข็งและความพยายามที่จะก้าวผ่านมันไป วันหนึ่งจะมีความรักที่ทำให้คุณเป็นตัวเองได้เต็มที่ และที่สำคัญคือคุณเลือกตัวเองได้เสมอ ซึ่งนั่นคือความสุขและพลังที่แท้จริง สุดท้าย การรักตัวเองและหยุดฝืนใจตามใครสักคนไม่ได้แปลว่าเห็นแก่ตัว แต่มันคือการสร้างพื้นฐานให้กับชีวิตและความรักที่สมดุล เรียนรู้ที่จะไม่โทษตัวเอง และฉลองความเข้มแข็งในทุก ๆ ก้าวของการเดินทางนี้

No matter how much love, time, or patience you give someone—if they keep leaving you empty, you’re allowed to walk away full of self-worth. I poured 10 years of love into someone who never truly showed up for me. But I showed up for me. I spoke my truth. He met it with silence. So I gave myself

✨ I was in the best relationship I’ve ever had in my life. I loved that man. Deeply. He was a good man Savannah, he was a good man. He did everything “right” on paper: he respected me, showed up, spent time, knew my love language, did what a boyfriend is supposed to do physically and logistically.

Grieving the loss of someone who’s still alive
Losing someone important to you due to their own choices can be one of the most difficult experiences any human could endure. The sheer part of letting go is the hardest. Why would you let go of someone that’s still there? Doesn’t that show YOU’VE given up? Or maybe you agree to the choice as well?
