..It is hard not to go back to someone who was once in your life. Things didn’t work out, it feels like a failure, and no one wants a failure on their record, especially when you feel you could have done something differently, or done something more. So we try and try again, we continue to hand over our heart piece by piece and trust that this person doesn’t destroy it again.
We have our doubts, but those few moments of feeling special, make the risk worth it. Soon enough, those moments come fewer and farther between. It isn’t until we realize that the reason we are handing over our heart in pieces is because the person we are handing it to is the same one who broke it, and it will never fully be repaired until we walk away and stop looking back. So go ahead, go back to the same person who damaged you, I have many times, and I’m a better person for it, but if there is one lesson I have taken with me, it’s that loving and trusting with your whole heart feels a hell of a lot better than loving with tiny pieces of a broken heart and doubt looming in that giant pit in your stomach.
