The ache is permanent
I have come to realize that the ache in my heart is permanent.
Unrequited love isn’t sexy, glamorous, or fulfilling. It is insanely painful. Knowing that something is over doesn’t take the pain away.
Time doesn’t take the pain away.
Substituting the void with something else doesn’t take the pain away.
Nothing. Nothing takes the pain away. So suck it up. You loved. Big deal.
Maybe you will love again, maybe not. Sucks for you. You are going to hurt for a long time. May as well enjoy the ache and the sadness.
