c'est ça.
I used to think in order to feel in love you need that heart-wrenching, tear-jerking feeling. To love there comes pain, and while everything was going well I would seek out these moments and grab onto them to feel alive, to feel that this relationship getting more emotionally intense. What I have neglected to see was that building a connection with someone through negative emotional attachment is a horrible idea. It ended up leaving both of us wounded, distraught, and it took a really long time to patch things up even the tiniest bit. We all make mistakes, and through these mistakes we learn. Some relationships work and some don't. And you will know it when you find out that what works for you. Then for a moment I stupidly reverted to thinking, why aren't I having those heart-wrenching moments? That's when I realised that you don't need those. Happiness is as simple or as complicated as you make it out to be; experiencing happiness in its simplest form is a blessing.
