Maybe you fell into the wrong person, wrong relationship, wrong time, wrong place. Maybe you gave everything to a connection you thought was real and permanent and you ended up alone. Maybe you trusted, shared your life, made a promise for better or worse to stand beside someone and they failed you. Maybe somewhere down the road you realized you weren’t ready for a relationship, couldn’t be the person you needed to be for someone else. Maybe you stood powerlessly as someone broke your heart into a million pieces. Maybe you’re just ready to give up on love altogether.⠀
⠀
Wherever you are, I want you to know something — there are no mistakes in love.⠀
⠀
The person you fell for, the one who disappointed, who cheated, who lied, who left? That person was placed into your life intentionally, for both a blessing and lesson to your future self. If you hadn’t met that person and hadn’t loved them, you wouldn’t have known the pain of brokenness. You wouldn’t be as strong as you are right now.⠀
⠀
The connection that failed over time? Without it, you wouldn’t be able to see the difference between affection and commitment. You wouldn’t know who you are and what you deserve.⠀
⠀
The promises that were broken? These taught you to be careful, to give your heart to someone who is genuine.⠀
⠀
The love you lost because you weren’t ready, because you couldn’t commit? This showed you what you needed, who you could be when the time was right, and how you have the power to hurt those around you, so you must always proceed with caution.⠀
⠀
The broken heart you’ve learned to re-heal in time? The pain showed you your resilience, your strength, your capacity to forgive and open again. Without your broken heart, you would be naïve and foolish. Without your broken heart, you wouldn’t know the beauty of real love when it finally stumbles across your path.⠀
⠀
There are no mistakes in love, only moments where you learn, grow and rebuild.⠀
⠀
So love, love, love.⠀
⠀
You only regret the chances you didn't take.
