love really does make us deaf to logic😂

it's best to love with your brain, and not with your heart😂

Loved this! And you nailed the emotional tug-of-war of knowing better but still feeling stuck.

This really hit deep. I love how perfectly you described the love vs toxic behavior and I'm so proud of you it's hard to let go of someone In the heart despite the mind knowing the shame on your name will continue. ❤️ Thank you so much for your rant these were really emotions I needed to face. It's the past but made me feel what I avoided years ago to remind myself of my growth. I really appreciate you!

Thank you for your kind words🥺

What do you mean by “shame on your name” though.

Also, I’ve not completely let the person go I’m still building up the courage to do that which is why I’m writing about it😂. It helps me process better. But thank you again❤️❤️

I thought "shame on your name" was clever wordplay but reading it now it doesn't make as much sense.🤎 I meant it like even despite the fact that they keep playing you, cheating or manipulation etc and you're welcome 😊 I can definitely understand the writing as a form of emotional therapy it's so much easier once putting emotions into words and reasons ❤️
