Two things in life are definitely inevitable: love and disappointment. And what do we get when we combine them? Valuable lessons.
I met him years ago. He was the man I truly believed he would become the love of my life. He found a way to jump over all my emotional barriers.
He knew penetrate my soul. I've never felt that with anyone before, it was magical.
I opened up to him completely. I trusted so much that I was even a little afraid. But I felt that it was right. I was completely emotional naked in front of him. There was nothing between us.
He stirred something in me, whatever I didn't know it existed. I felt as if I had gotten out of the cage I was in without even realizing it.
It seemed to me that I was living a fairy tale of incredible and wonderful love, the love that I wanted so much.

Turns out she wasn't like that at all.
I was living an incredibly convincing lie that looked exactly the way I wanted it to. I lived in the world of dreams and closed your eyes to the truth.
I fell in love with a man who simply didn't love me back. My love went far beyond boundaries and limitations that he simply could not cross. And if you could, you wouldn't be with me.
It was one of the most painful realizations. Awareness that me i could never love it hurt me deeply.
It showed a big mistake, but at the same time it was an important lesson. He taught me the importance of always being true to myself.
When I look back, I see a map of our relationship littered with warning signs and alarm bells, which I did not want to see. I ignored them. I didn't believe them.
I had misconception about what love is.
Love is not just a feeling I felt for this person, but something much deeper and more important. I realized that it is love also respect for yourself, not just the other person.

This realization gave me the strength to move on and to find someone who will love me back in the same measure as I give it.
I learned that it doesn't have to be someone will fall in love with me, as I will fall in love with him. It's part of life. Everyone has their own path and the person they are meant for.
Life always presents us with difficult lessons, but each one of them makes us stronger and more ready for the next challenges.
Disappointment teaches us that sometimes you have to accept the pain and come to terms with the fact that things are not always as you would like them to be. It is important to know how to face our feelings and to we learn to let go of what hurts us and hinders us in life.
Trust your intuition, don't close your eyes to the truth and don't live in a dream. Enjoy yourselves.
