... Read moreNavigating feelings around fake love and past relationships can be deeply challenging, especially when strong emotions like love, care, and hope for permanence are involved. From the phrases "I love you" and "I miss you sm" to "I care abt you" and "i hope we last forever," it's clear these expressions hold significant meaning for many who experience complicated relationships. In my own experience, dealing with an ex can bring up a rollercoaster of feelings—sometimes nostalgic, sometimes painful. The use of affirmations like "I love you" can be both comforting and confusing because they often coexist with feelings of betrayal or disappointment, especially when the relationship was marked by uncertainty or fake love. For those identifying with wlw (women loving women) communities, relationships can carry unique dynamics affected by external pressures and internal expectations. I found that openly expressing emotions, even complex ones like missing someone or hoping to last forever, can help in processing these relationships and moving toward healing. It’s important to acknowledge the reality behind hashtags like #fakelove or #imy (I miss you) as more than just social media trends; they are outlets for real emotions that many grapple with. Sharing your story or reading others’ experiences can provide comfort and perspective. Remember, healing is a journey — allowing yourself to feel and express your emotions honestly paves the way to stronger self-understanding and healthier future connections.

ways my BODY rejected my ex 🚫
when you’re with someone who’s not right for you, your body WILL let you know!! the body is highly intelligent, and has one goal - to keep you safe!! 🫶 it gives us warning signs that it’s distressed and not at ease, which can be a very helpful signal when we’re mentally in denial, or even just

I know it’s hard getting through a break up. But the outcome of it is amazing. ✨Script everything about your ex, the good times and the bad times. Then release. You can either rip the script and throw it away, or I recommend throwing rocks in a body of water. ✨Do nice things for yourself. Whet

look at this before texting your ex
I know the urge to text your ex is strong, but your attachment to them is literally like an addiction. studies show that love and physical intimacy evoke the same neural chemicals as addiction, so you need to treat it as such. if you were to quit an addiction, you can slowly ween yourself off of it

How I Knew My Ex’s Weren’t “the One”
