Heal or talking to someone new?

Have you ever felt bad about someone who came into your life while you were still healing and moving on from someone else?

I have.

One day, unexpectedly, someone entered my life while I was still healing and moving on to a talking stage that didn’t work out. I thought it would just be a casual conversation that would last only a day.

But it didn’t end there..

He continued talking to me every day, always with an energetic tone that kept me smiling and laughing. He genuinely cared for me, treating me in a way that I felt I didn’t deserve. I kept pushing him away because I feared he would end up treating me the same way my past relationships did.

Deep down.. I knew I hadn’t fully moved on from my last talking stage.

I began to feel guilty. He didn’t deserve someone like me, and at times, I wished he would stop messaging me. Then one day, that wish came true — he didn’t message me at all.

Now I’m left wondering if I should be thankful for that. After all, he deserves someone better than me who is still struggling with my issues with my past.

I’ve realized that you need to heal and love yourself before getting involved with someone new. Someone genuinely interested in you shouldn’t have to be a bandage for wounds they didn’t inflict.
