Did you know that sometimes the most painful decision is actually the best opportunity to grow? It's like my story. Five years ago, after graduating from college, I broke up with my ex-girlfriend. That day, it was raining, and her reluctance made my heart ache, but I knew that it was necessary.
We talked for four years, and she was very attentive to me. Clothes, shoes, every small gift, she carefully selected. But I didn't give her anything but a simple panda rag doll. Poverty and self-esteem made me dare not expect more, and I always felt that I could not give her the happiness she deserved.
That day, she stood in front of me, recalling our bits and pieces, while I could only coldly say the word "break up". I saw the confusion and sadness in her eyes, but I knew it was for her good. I was afraid that my incompetence would burden her, and I didn't want to drag her down.
You may say that I am running away. But I would say that this is not an evasion, but a responsibility. Everyone should have the ability to be happy for themselves and those they love. If you can't do it, then you should be brave enough to let it go.
Looking back now, I don't regret that breakup. What I regret is that I didn't recognize myself earlier and didn't learn to grow earlier. If we had enough confidence and ability at that time, perhaps, our story would have had a different ending.
So, a piece of advice to you who are reading this::Don't start a relationship just because you're lonely。True love is to have the ability to bear and maintain. Without money, without self-confidence, it is better not to fall in love easily. When you are truly mature, look for the person who can go hand in hand with you.
Love is not the be-all and all-en-all of life, but it is the best part of life. Before you're ready, you might as well love yourself a little. Only by becoming a better version of yourself can you meet a better other person. Breaking up is not the end, but a new beginning, and the courage to grow.
