What did I see in that person?

If you ever look back on a relationship and think,

"What did I see in that person??"

it could be that your heart thought it saw love,

or  it could be that your soul recognized an excellent teacher of self-worth.

Self Worth

Recognize your own worth and you won't be drawn to those who don't see it.  -Doe Zantamata Always be aware of your feelings. They are the voice of your intuition…your inner truth.  A lot of times in relationships, people are very happy and excited to be in something new, and are very complimentary and notice all the good little things. Then after awhile, especially in those who are insecure, they lose that initial "niceness" and instead begin to get comfortable.  Eventually, some start to seem to notice only the little things they don't like or that bother them, and have forgotten all about the good little things.  This can happen subtly over time, so it's good to keep track of your inner feelings at all times.

Find things in your life that you need to focus attention on, and that you really love doing. Creative things where your attention needs to be on them are good. Be with your feelings. Grieving can't be rushed. You're not weak for feeling pain, you're sensitive. Only sensitive people can be compassionate, and really help others, but they also feel pain a lot more strongly.

Decision: Get back together or break up forever? Take the pressure off of yourself with the following thought: There is no "wrong" action, just choices and consequences. If you go back and it turns out to be the wrong thing, you'll know for sure. If you do not go back, you may always wonder if you should have given it one more go, or you may feel peace and relief of not having the anxiety for the same thing to happen again that had happened so many times. There's a part in each that will be resolved in the outside world, and a part in each that needs to be and can only be resolved within you. If you feel hesitant, it could be intuition or at this point it could be self-protection/fear of not wanting to return to that which you know has the ability to cause you great pain. Wherever you go, go fully. If you decide to go back, do so with optimism and not with anxiety. If you do not go back, move forward in life with curiosity to the new and not with regrets
