Blinded by Love

Sometimes I think about how love makes us foolishly brave.

We cling to things that once broke us, convincing ourselves that the pain is proof of meaning. That somehow, if we just hold on long enough, it’ll all make sense… That maybe, this time, they’ll love us right.

But love isn’t a charity case.

It’s not about pouring yourself into someone hoping they’ll finally see your worth. Yet, as humans, we do that, we mistake effort for destiny and consistency for hope.

We tell ourselves, Maybe they’ve changed. We see small signs, a few nice words, some effort, a text that feels different and our hearts start rewriting the past like it never happened. We start to believe this version of them is real, that the old one is gone. But sometimes, it’s just the same person wearing new manners for a short while.

It’s like a beggar walking up to you for change. You might not give him any because you don’t have it to give! Not because you don’t care. That’s how I’ve started to see my own energy. If I’m not feeling it, if I’m empty, why am I still offering the little I have left to someone who didn’t value it the first time?

Love should never drain you to prove it’s real. Because if someone truly cares, they wouldn’t let you keep giving until you run dry.

A few reminders for your heart :-

• You can love someone deeply and still walk away.

• People don’t change because they come back, they change when they stay consistent.

• Stop mistaking temporary effort for permanent growth.

• Love shouldn’t feel like begging for scraps of attention.

Maybe love isn’t meant to blind us, but to teach us. To show us what we accept, what we deserve, and what we should never settle for again!
