it's a whole mess of feelings like scared guilty and sad. Still think about my ex and care about them just confused about what I need right now.
The person I'm dating now is catching feelings for me it's too fast and I told them to chill. They're super sweet and caring. But it's giving me flashbacks to how my ex love-bombed me.
My ex really messed with my head I feel like I can't even trust my own heart and still wonder how they're doing.
I know this is just part of healing and it's not a straight line but what scares me most is getting hurt again or hurting someone new.
I think I have commitment issues now lowkey."

Once we have given our heart and soul to someone and framed a picture in our mind of a possible future, it's heart breaking since it totally breaks our idea of A safe loving and caring future.It takes certain time to let that go and getting back into reality is the best way to do that.Enjoying the simple and boring things of life even alone, dancing, singing, cleaning, cooking, going out , Learning how to be with one self, learning how to be with others and new people.It also gives us certain Hope and peace since it reassures within us the truth we are complete as it is.In that moment when you meet anyone you go ahead as two completes and not trying to complete each other and that's the beauty of a relationship

The worst part of healing is the uncertainty wondering if your heart will ever feel safe again. But trust me it will. One day love won’t feel like a risk it will feel like home.

Not being ready for commitment right now doesn’t mean you never will be. You’re learning growing figuring out what love means to you now. Give yourself time.

You’re right healing isn’t a straight line. Some days feel easy others make you question everything. But every moment of clarity every boundary you set is proof you’re moving forward.

There was a time I couldn’t tell the difference between genuine love and manipulation and that terrified me. The fact that you recognize the pattern now? That means you’re already stronger than before.

Love bombing leaves scars that don’t fade easily. It makes you question real kindness real effort real love. But not everyone is like your ex some people give without taking.

I’ve been in that space feeling torn between the past and the present unsure if I’m protecting myself or just afraid of letting someone in again. Healing is messy but awareness is your first step forward.

Nah for real you shouldn't be dating rn. The new person deserves way better. You're def going into this still hung up on your ex that's super selfish. Trying to be chill but this is kinda messed up of you. Watch out karma's real.

I've been real with them about where I'm at and how I feel. Nothing's been rushed either. This post was more about like the changes in me since dating you know?

Yeah you think you're ready til you actually start dating again. I'm scared of that exact thing. My ex was my first everything in romance so it's this haunting feeling whenever I think about getting with someone else.
