It was exam season, and assignment deadlines were piling up. While trying to stay focused on my work, a phrase someone once told me — ‘It happens for a reason’ — popped into my mind late at night. I ended up spending nearly the entire night searching for answers to this thought that had me truly wondering.
When you’re caught between ‘give up or keep going?’ — and these words loop a thousand times in your head — you wonder if you’ll ever get that happy ending with someone. Hell yeah, you will! Life is tough, and I get how harsh that truth can be. But please, don’t be so hard on yourself. Wipe away tears and smile at yourself. Here is the story for you….
You met someone who made you believe he was the one. Just as you realized how much he meant to you, you began to feel insignificant to him. You made him your top priority and showed him how much you cared, but to him, you were only a backup plan.
You opened your heart, letting him know how much you liked him. Yet, he began to play with your feelings — ignoring your messages and calls, testing your patience. He said he felt the same, but they were just sweet words. Sure, he liked you, but not enough to commit in a real way.
Now, it feels like the harder you try, the emptier you feel. But hey — look on the bright side (the little angel on your shoulder will always remind you of this).
“You have to fight for the right one, even if it leaves your heart black and blue.”
But here’s the dark side (or the truth): you need to ask yourself a few tough questions:
Why do you always feel compelled to be there for him and let him treat you like a second choice?
Why do you want to stay when you can’t find a reason to do so anymore?
It’s time to stop giving him attention and sending him a thousand messages. All that will do is make you look like a crazy person in his eyes.
It’s incredibly hard to let someone go, but if you find yourself fighting alone to make things work and all you get in return is sadness and emptiness, is it really worth it? relationship shouldn’t feel like a battle where you’re left alone to fight for someone who doesn’t reciprocate your commitment.
In moments like these, the healthiest way to love him might be to wish him happiness rather than clinging to your desire to possess him. Instead of saying, ‘I love you, and I want you to be mine,’ try embracing the sentiment of ‘I want you to be happy with someone else.’ This shift in perspective allows you to release the hold you have on him, freeing both of you to pursue what brings joy.
…Unfortunately, fate led us to meet, only for it to become clear that we were not meant to be together. Sometimes, the universe brings people into our lives for a reason, but that reason isn’t always about lasting love. It can be about growth, lessons learned, and the understanding that sometimes love means letting go.
