Stupid Cupid's Diary: Games

Moving on

Hallie's Pov:

it was Christmas break already, I kept rethinking my decisions in life, I kept thinking about the time I and Aster were having so much fun... gosh I miss those days, I kept thinking and thinking and thinking until it hit me like a truck Maybe I don't like Aster anymore? whenever I think of our memories there's no more spark, I didn't feel the 'puppy love' anymore... and I started to realize how much of a red flag he is, he would make girls fall for him and then not talk to them after they've confessed, he doesn't care about his grades nor his reputation and he even disobeyed teachers...He's a misogynistic guy and doesn't care about his studies!! gosh, I was so blinded by the so-called love, I probably didn't even love him I was just probably bored, I'm so dumb when it comes to love... well now at least I know what I feel and maybe it's time to move on and start over again, start over but this time without him... I smiled to myself everything started becoming ever so clear to me.

For the whole Christmas break, I didn't even think about him, it was like he never existed, I loved this feeling, the feeling of my broken heart slowly healing, I also realized that I have to love myself before I love others because if I keep loving others without loving myself I will continue on hurting others and myself I was slowly learning how to love myself and accept my flaws, even tho this wasn't the ending I wanted, but I can say that this is a better ending... Love is a game, we're not sure if we will lose or not but remember it's ok to lose, at least we get better every time we try, and we grow and become a better version of ourselves I smiled at the thought

Love indeed does start from within, it starts from self-love...
