#wehurt

We hurt, we hurt others because we’re hurt, but that makes us very much like the people who hurt us. It makes us just like them.

If we are to judge how lovable we are, based on someone else’s inability to love without hurting us, we will eventually acquire an inaccurate view of ourselves. The reflections of love we acquire from those we love, are not always reciprocated.

It’s not that others will consciously choose not to love or hurt us, but their experiences based on their own unconscious thinking is the reason for their inability to show love. Growing up, we base our ability to love on the love we receive from others, this is particularly true of parents and siblings.

When that doesn’t happen, the mirror image of what we see becomes our inner voice. No matter how much we defend our corner growing up, when it comes to put-downs and criticisms, on a subconscious level we will begin to believe what we hear.

We buy into the flaws reflected in the mirror, even though we consciously know our loved ones are distorting their impression of us. But we can change that. Nothing’s set in stone enough for us not to change.

I would often use reflection as my tool to understand my life. I believe that if we reflect long enough, the bigger picture becomes obvious enough. That some of the issues we think that are about us, are other people’s issue of us and that’s not the same thing.

SOME THINGS THAT BREAK, DON’T GET MOSTLY FIXED // by: ajpzn 🌹

I saw you with your blue shirt on & Your glasses that fit your face perfectly I saw you smiling or more likely you were grinning You were telling a story & you were laughing

I saw your eyes gazed up to mine I didn’t flinch, I didn’t move You blinked… Twice, thrice But you didn’t smile

I saw you walking passed by me The rigid heartbreats stormed my entirety You looked straight ahead You didn’t looked at me

People say people come & go But is it necessary? Or is it uncalled for? People come but it’s a choice to let go Why was it so easy for you to go?

The last time I saw you You were happy Your eyes were smiling I saw you happy without me
