HEARTBREAK IS INEVITABLE; falling in love is, too.
But learning to love yourself? That's a journey only a few get to travel and come out on the other side unscathed.
I was scarred, my heart had barbed wire wrapped around it like a rope tied in knots. From the time I was a child, I convinced myself I wasn't good enough. Not pretty enough. I tried to convince myself someone else's arms would fix that. I thought they could cure my doubts and self consciousness. Without having to lift my own finger. For me? I'd say it took a good three years to fully understand that I had to put in the work.
I spent the last few months keeping to myself. I had taken plenty of road trips with myself. Finding myself marking trails on the map to walk through. I would turn off my phone and be one with nature
