that inner stuff is the most important as far as I can tell. I think in a way everyone that does you pain in yours life are somehow just as important as the ones that make you happy, it's like a trade off that you don't agree with but it's necessary. Doesn't mean become hardened but no one talks how someone feels after doing the work and then looking at themselves again, they don't see the same person anymore

when you say “they don’t see the same person anymore,” do you mean yourself feels different, or the people who hurt you do? curious how you experience that shift.
i’ve had people hurt me deeply, and after reflecting on it, i barely recognized myself. it’s like grief and growth collided
Thank you. I'm stumbling but I'm working on learning myself and the lessons from my last relationship. On the not becoming hardened I'm not ready yet but I'm sure the next person I give my love I'll be able to give even more because by that time I'll be a more complete person.
