“Imagine this pie is your life. We want to imagine everything in your life is equal. So you have 8 sections. You have your family, your passions, school, your love life, friends, your pets, your struggles and your hope. Now imagine 7 out of 8 of these are devoted to just your love life and in this tiny box you’re trying to fit all 7 of these other things while making one your priority. Now you’ve made your entire life focused on only love and forgot about all the other important stuff in your life because you have lost yourself in making love your world. We meet people in life when we’re doing the things we love and following our hearts, once we make one single thing our priority, we lose ourselves and have nothing left to give ourselves or even others because we gave it all away focusing on one single thing in our life and that’s why we are often left feeling empty. We give our all to one single thing and have nothing left when it falls apart.”
— Something my therapist said to me today that hit me really deep
