(essay)

When I was 16, I felt the real pain of “love”.

Was it a real feeling? Maybe not.

But it was something that changed my attitude towards myself.

What happened after I felt the pain? I removed myself from social networks, stopped communicating with people as before. And, of course, decided that I don’t deserve “true love”.

But what happened then?

I learned what psychology, meditation, and yoga are. And then came self-love, self-respect and self-confidence. Was that love worth what happened next? Sure! It was worth it! After all, I discovered a new world for myself! A world of total self-love, a world of gratitude, a world of possibilities.

I don’t want people to lose faith in themselves because of someone. My story is one of hundreds. But this is my story and it is worth telling. After all, I, too, deserve to be heard in this world. Each of us deserves the best! And only by opening ourselves to this wonderfully weird world can we truly know the beauty of this life.

So, the story of my pain turned into the story of my happiness!
