Oh God….it’s the worst when you are breaking your own heart

You must have been in a relationship with a narcissist too.

It took me years to realize the person who shattered my heart years ago was never real. Just an illusion they portrayed at first and I naively kept waiting on. Once I realized that, it made the hurt stop. The person that did exist wasn’t worth me.

i’m grieving over a version of someone who did actually exist and i didn’t fully see it. different kind of pain. but…it’s human to err and we learn as long as we breathe. i am a work in progress, just like anyone else. hope he’s blessed thousandfold for my mistake.

This pain hits different.

I made him up. He was right in front of me the whole time, and still, I made him up. The guy I believed he could become. He never was going to be that guy. He never even wanted to be.
