I hate when you leave

I hate when you leave me …

I know you need to, but when you leave parts of me fall apart.

Sometimes I grab your pillow and sniff it, just to smell you, and oddly it feels like you’re still with me.

What would I do without you?

Your touch? Your love? You hands? Your smile?

Without you… I really am nothing.

My therapist asked me what’s some reasons I feel like living, only answer I could think of is you.

You are the reason I live, you are the reason I breathe.

Don’t you know that?

Now many may think that sounds so weak and where is her power ? Where is my strength?

Thing is I’ve been fighting and running.

Hustling and surviving all my life,

now I can finally breathe and feel safe.

I can finally stop running…

You taught me something special.

That as bad as this world can be, I can feel a sense of happiness.

I can finally look in the mirror and recognize the someone I have always fought to be

but feel more confident about.

All because you love me, me..

you love me…

And in turn I love you to my core. #lemon8challenge

... Read moreCoping with loss can often bring up deep emotional struggles that many face. When someone we love departs, it leads to feelings of emptiness and longing. It’s important to process these emotions to foster healing. Feeling vulnerable in love is not a sign of weakness but rather a recognition of the heart's depth and strength. Love transforms us, giving us a sense of purpose and stability. This reflection illustrates that true strength can come from acknowledging our vulnerabilities and learning to navigate through grief. In times of solitude, we often find solace in remembering our loved ones and cherishing the moments shared. Turning to professional help or supportive relationships can also play a crucial role in finding peace amidst emotional turmoil. Ultimately, love enriches our lives, providing us with hope even when faced with heartache. Remember that it’s okay to feel lost when someone leaves; it’s part of the healing journey.

The book cover for "I HATE YOU—DON'T LEAVE ME, Third Edition" by Jerold J. Kreisman and Hal Straus. The title is split, with "I HATE YOU—" in red on a light top, and "DON'T LEAVE ME" in black on a blue bottom, separated by a jagged line. It's about understanding borderline personality.

If anything, I just feel sad for those who carry so much negativity that they go out of their way to tear others down. Choose kindness, seek happiness and peace, and reach out for support when you need it. Negativity is never the answer.❤️ #haters #kindnessispower #kindnesswins

Real Love Doesn’t Leave When It Gets Hard
Not if you gain weight. Not if you lose your spark for a little while. Not if you need space. Not if you cry for no reason or overthink things that never happened. Not if you get quiet. Not if you say the wrong thing when you’re tired. Not even if you forget how to love yourself for a moment.
