“You didn’t love wrongly — you just need to direct it inward now.”
You gave them devotion, time, tenderness — pieces of your heart in quiet, consistent ways.
And now, they’re gone.
But that love? It still exists. And now, it’s yours to reclaim.
Start turning it inward. The care. The attention. The forgiveness.
You are not without love. You are overflowing with it.
Give to yourself what you once gave so freely to them.
Place a hand over your heart. Say: 'I give myself the love I once gave away.' Breathe that in.
Write a list of ways you can care for yourself today — even one small gesture.
Elise T. “When I started treating myself like someone I loved, everything shifted. I still miss them, but now I choose me first.”
Love given is never lost.
