dear sappho…
how do you get over someone who won’t ever love you back?
Hi nonny,
First I want to say my heart goes out to you during this time of heartbreak. I've been there, time and time again. That is the price you pay for loving. But it is better to love and be hurt than to never love at all.
My very simple advice for you, and for anyone else who needs it, is to start listening to Lizzo.
I'm dead serious. Music has saved me from dark places, has been there for me when I hit rock bottom. The music you listen to can change your attitude and influence your thoughts. When you aren't getting the love you need from someone else, you have to learn to give it to yourself. And Lizzo is who I turn to for that.
Start with Good as Hell, and listen to every word; let the rhythm move through you, move you. Let Soulmate embrace you, sing along, and say the words to yourself in the mirror until you believe it. And remember that you're Special, in case nobody told you, I'm telling you—no one else's feelings about you dictate your inherent worth. This is a reminder for you, when you need to hear those words, they're here.
It might not feel like it right now, but you don't need their love. All the love you need is right there, in your heart, waiting to be felt by you. So remember your worth, it's About Damn Time.
With love,
Sappho 💖
