Hey everyone, I just wanted to share something that’s been on my mind lately. I hope you’ll take a moment to read and maybe even share your thoughts too! 
So, I was in a relationship for about two years with someone I thought was really special. At first, everything felt so right—he was charming, attractive, and I felt this strong connection. But over time, things started to change. The relationship turned abusive, both emotionally and physically. It was a really tough time, and I eventually found the strength to walk away.
During that time, I noticed something strange—almost every day, I’d see heart shapes everywhere. It could be a piece of gum on the sidewalk, a shape in my food, or even a cloud in the sky. It was like the universe was constantly reminding me of love, even though my experience with it was so painful. Even after we broke up, those hearts kept showing up. It made me wonder if my heart was still holding onto something.
One day, I mentioned this to a friend, and she shared something that really stuck with me. She said, “Hearts aren’t always about love—they can also symbolize strength and resilience. Maybe your heart is telling you to focus on loving yourself now.” She told me about her friend who stayed in an abusive relationship for decades, and how it affected not only her but also her kids and even her grandkids. It made me realize how important it is to prioritize our own well-being.
I’ve been reflecting a lot on this. It’s easy to get caught up in hoping things will get better, but sometimes, the best thing we can do is let go and focus on healing. I’m not perfect, and I still have moments when I doubt myself, but I’m trying to listen to my instincts more and trust that I deserve something healthier.
If you’ve been through something similar, I’d love to hear your story. Let’s support each other and remind ourselves that we’re stronger than we think!
