There is a difference between
Being in love with someone
And...
Being in love with the IDEA of being in love with someone.
Here is a story...
Not really so long ago in a land not really that far...
I fell in love with the idea of being in love with someone.
I thought it was real until I realized that there is a big difference between Dreaming and Pretending.
I was so in love with the perfect illusion of our relationship but in reality it was a cynically-bound chaos.
I tried to stay...
Because I fear that other people will think of me as a failure...
I fear that having a failed relationship makes me a failure.
But since I was born with a strong will...
I knew myself better than them.
So I walked away...
Letting everyone think that I am a failure but I know to myself that I just won.
From that very moment that I made that first step to walk away from that relationship... I already won.
And until now I never regret that decision I made 7 years ago.
I know I will never regret it for the rest of my life.
So what I'm trying to say is...
If you are trapped in a certain relationship where you find yourself living in an illusion...
It is because your reality is not making you happy.
You are not in love with that person anymore...
You are only in love with the idea that you are in love...
Because you just want to be in love.
But your truth is haunting you.
It Keep on telling you that everything is wrong.
So Don't waste another minute staying there just because you are scared of what other people would say or think about you.
Remember, they don't feed you, so why care for what they think or say.
Do what you think seem to be good for you.
The right one will come only if you let go of the wrong one.
And you should know the difference between dreaming and pretending...
For it is ok to dream as long as you don't waste too much of your life dreaming... Because you have to live your life.
But it is not ok to pretend that everything is ok...
Because you are not Only wasting your time...
You are actually slowly killing yourself for there is so much out there for you but you are not living it. You don't want to live it, just because of that wrong idea your feeding to yourself.
Sometimes...
You don't need the world to know that you won the battle.
Most of the time...
You only need one person to know your story and everything is better.
Maybe that person is someone...
Or maybe... That person is YOURSELF.
