Mending your broken heart

I can tell you a lot about love because I know a lot about pain. I struggled with loving myself, which led me to be in relationships with people who found it easier to use me instead of helping me discover my inner self. I was caught in a vicious cycle that haunted me for years. A broken heart and a lifetime of scars are all I have to show for my heartache and years of pain. I wanted more when it came to love, so I had to learn to do more to get the desired results. But, unfortunately for me, my way of doing things was not working in my best interest. So, I needed to make a change. Whether we are trying to love ourselves or love someone else, there is one thing for sure; it will take everything we have inside to get everything we want out of love.
