The Girl Who Loved Too Much”

📖 Chapter 2: “When Love Turns to Lessons” I wanted to hate him. I wanted to scream, cry, break something — anything — just to stop the pain in my chest. But all I did was sit. Silent. Staring at the ceiling like the answers were hidden up there. He walked past me like I didn’t matter. Like I wasn’t the girl who gave up her dreams for him. Like I wasn’t the same girl who once skipped her family’s Christmas just to be in his arms. “Joy, you’re overthinking again,” he said coldly. No, I wasn’t. I saw it — the messages, the pictures, the smile on his face that didn’t belong to me anymore. I remembered when he first called me “his peace.” Now I was his problem. The girl I used to be would’ve begged him to stay. Would’ve blamed herself. Would’ve cried into his chest hoping he’d wipe her tears. But that girl is gone. Now, I rise. For every promise he broke… I’ll build a wall. For every insult he gave… I’ll speak love to myself. For every time he made me feel small… I’ll grow ten times stronger. I don’t know what tomorrow holds, But I know I won’t let this heartbreak destroy me. This is the beginning… Of me loving me.
