Healing from betrayal/abandonment/heartbreak

Some piece of advice beyond the usual "focus on you"

The world is not entirely white, and it’s not entirely black either.

Before you go playing detective—examining all the red flags, the green flags, the unmet emotional needs, your attachment style, and how much that person resembled your mom—pause.

Remember this simple truth:
There are people who can love, and there are people who can’t.

You stumbled upon someone who can’t.

There are dictators and cruel soldiers. And there are strangers who jump into a river to save a drowning child, losing their own lives in the process.

That’s the confusing world we live in.And the sooner we accept that only discernment can protect us—the better.

You weren’t betrayed by the whole world.
You were betrayed by one person.

You don’t have to understand them. You’re allowed to feel angry.
But hold on to this: they might simply be different from you.

Grieve it.
But remember: this time, you didn’t stumble upon the kind of person who’d save the cat, jump into the water, or help the old lady cross the street.

That’s all.
