Dear love,

It has been 5 months since you dumped me. Sine then I have gone through my independent woman phase, my self-love phase, my “focusing on me” phase.

The truth is that I am so scared to live my life without you. I don’t know who to contact when there is a problem in my life. I don’t know who else will give me as much comfort or reassurance that “everything will be okay.” I’m not sure who else will listen to me. I’m not sure who else will make me forget about all the sorrows in the world except you. There are days when I am so freaking scared of going through all my obstacles without you.

But then I think to myself: maybe this is a desperate sign that I need myself now more than ever. I need to love myself enough to know that everything will be okay. I need to be confident enough in my abilities to know that I can solve my own problems. I need to love others enough to know that the glass is always half full and never empty.

I became addicted to you at a time when I didn’t love myself. Now I don’t have you and I don’t know what to do.

I need to love myself.

I am good enough.
