If it’s love, it won’t hurt.

You struggle with the thought that you heal others to avoid healing yourself.

You feel like your life is escaping you, like your best years are falling far behind you.

Like my fellow unlucky-in-love 2020 daters, I didn’t ask to fall for someone as our world devolved into absolute chaos.

This is me trusting that you’ll never break my heart. 

Thank you for always seeing my heart.

I’m tired of carrying myself with grace and poise even when I’m seconds away from breaking.

She’ll express her deepest fears without reservation, worrying that she is unworthy of your love, fearing that you will walk away and leave her brokenhearted. But in return, she’ll create a foundation of honesty in your relationship, encouraging you to speak what’s on your heart, no matter how vulnerable your own fears may feel.

I lead with my heart and Your spirit, encouraging me to live my life by Your virtue, Your grace alone.

In 2020, I hope you live for your own happiness.

2019, thank you for all I left behind. Thank you for the moments my heart broke as I walked away.

Some heartbreaks are meant to stimulate your personal growth. They reveal that you are not infallible, that you are human, that you have the capacity to feel and heal.
