Love hurts. And sometimes, you think that it is a good hurt because it makes you feel alive.

But is it worth it?

Let's be real: nobody deserves to sleep with a broken heart. Not for somebody who doesn't love them back.

You are made for more. For something deeper. Something meaningful. For somebody special who could be able to offer you their heart without any doubts, without secrets, with no drama and ignorance.

And don't let something like unreturned love ruin your confidence or destroy you.

Remember, love always finds its way.

One day, you will be loved. And until then, feel free to open your heart and splash all your pain on paper.

There is something calming in writing down how you feel, especially when you feel that this ugly love has taken its toll on you.

In the end, only time will heal your wounds. And you'll find someone who will care for you equally.
