Lessons You Learn From Loving "The Wrong Person"

You learn how to ask for what you need. You also learn how to walk away when you don't receive what you need. Because you now know that your needs will never be too much for the right person.

You learn what you want in a partner. In loving the "wrong person," you come to realize what you value in a partnership because you see what happens in those values' absence.

You learn you can't save people. You now fully understand your role in a relationship is not saving. It is to be loving Caring. Present. There. Nothing more, nothing less.

You learn the power of hope. You saw infinite potential in someone who ultimately could not, and would not, see it through. And that's a beautiful thing.

You learn that love isn't always enough to make something last. You can love someone and still know letting go is thr right thing to do for both of you.

You learn that just because a relationship ends doesn't mean it didn't matter. All of it matters. And it always will.

You learn that there are no "wrong" people to love. There are just people we love, and sometimes it doesn't work out. It is good until suddenly it is not. The sun rises and sets. Our hopes rise and fall. We love, and eventually, we let each other go. And we learn from it all. We still grow.

A List Of Underrated Art Forms

Apologizing. Making friends in adulthood. Remembering someone's name after a single mention. A well-timed pun. Somehow arriving on time despite running late. Letting go of the things that no longer serve you. Friendship breakups. Accepting a compliment without going inward or deflecting. Being funny without being mean. Being kind without being doormat. Being yourself without caring what anyone else thinks about you. The spontaneous phone call. Handwritten letters. Cursive. Journalism. Learning a new language. Stumbling through anxiety. Navigating awkward silences without ending the conversation. Compassion. Distinguishing your fear from your intuition. Translating a two-year-old's sentences. Rebuilding a life. Rebuilding a family. Rebuilding a home. Metaphors. Planning a date. Learning to drive. Taking responsibility for your life. Helping heal a heart you didn't break, especially when that heart is your own.

A Story About Happenstance It’s been said that grief is love with nowhere to go but I don’t think that’s entirely true anymore. https://thoughtcatalog.com/molly-burford/2023/03/a-story-about-happenstance/

The intimacy of... Eye contact. Smirks across a crowded room. Raised eyebrows. Knowing glances. Witty banter. "I heard this song and thought of you." The sides of legs accidentally touching in the backseat. Dancing in front of strangers. Playful teasing. "I saved you a seat." Comfortable silences. Quiet time. Falling asleep together on the couch. "I'm so sorry." Hope. The little things. Inside jokes. Appreciation. Mutual trust. "You're my best friend." Crying in the car alone at a red light. Heart-to-hearts in dive bar bathrooms. Giving the benefit of the doubt. Giving a second chance. Giving in to a deep laugh. "I was literally just about to call you, too." Sharing books with your scribbles and notes throughout the margins. Losing your footing. "I never told another person that before." First hugs. A kiss you know will be your last. "I understand." A sense of safety. A feeling of alignment. Just knowing someone is here to stay, even though you have no real evidence for thinking so. Believing they will anyway.

HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING

Take a deep breath. Hold it. Count to five. Exhale. Repeat as often as necessary. Talk it out. Take a break. Take a walk. Take some time to yourself. Ask for help. Remember that no one is thinking about you as much as you are thinking about you. Consider this to be a relief. Understand most things are forgivable, including you. Stop defining yourself by your mistakes and simply learn from it all instead. Stop judging other people for their shortcomings and forgive them while you're at it. Sit with the quiet. Check the facts. Check yourself. Check the front door once. Choose compassion. Remind yourself that preparing for the worst does not make you more prepared for the worst; it just makes you suffer. Trust that you can get through anything that comes your way. Trust your judgment. Trust your heart. Live from a place of faith, not fear. — Molly Burford
