Sad: Johnnywriter Shared His one-sided Love Story

This was me many years ago, on this day I was heartbroken and decided to go drink because of a toxic and one-sided relationship. I thought drowning my sorrows would ease the pain, but little did I know, it was only the beginning of my journey towards self-discovery and healing.

I remember walking into the dimly lit bar, hoping to find solace in the bottom of a glass. I ordered my drink and sat alone, nursing my heartache. The bartender, sensing my distress, struck up a conversation. I opened up to him about my relationship woes, and he listened intently.

As I shared my story, I realized how toxic and draining it had been. I was in a relationship with a woman who was stunningly beautiful, and I guess that’s why I couldn’t stop myself from going back to her, no matter how many times she broke my heart. I was blinded by her beauty and my own low self-esteem, constantly feeling like I wasn’t good enough for her.

She would break up with me countless times, but I was always the one begging to have her back. I thought I needed her to complete me, to make me feel worthy. But in reality, I was just perpetuating a cycle of self-doubt and heartache.

The bartender, a wise and kind stranger, saw the tears streaming down my face and said, “You deserve so much better. You deserve someone who loves and appreciates you for who you are.” His words struck a chord deep within me.

In that moment, I knew I had a choice to make. I could continue down the path of heartache and self-doubt or take the first step towards healing and self-love. I finished my drink, thanked the bartender, and walked out of that bar with a newfound determination.

It wasn’t easy, but I started to prioritize myself. I sought therapy, surrounded myself with supportive loved ones, and learned to love myself, flaws and all. I discovered my worth and realized that I was worthy of a healthy, loving relationship.

I started saving people from such relationships by helping them realize their self worth and value. Offering them advice and therapy.

Looking back, I’m grateful for that dark moment in the bar. It was the catalyst for my transformation. I learned that sometimes, heartbreak can be a blessing in disguise, leading us towards a path of self-discovery and growth. And for that, I’m forever thankful.
