Are you diverting boredom, heartbreak, and loneliness? Then “Don’t DATE to HEAL!!!” Read this short article about self-love/dating advice that might be helpful during this pandemic blues.

Don’t waste your time & efforts.

Have you ever felt deceive that you thought you already moved-on from your previous heartbreaks? Because of the eagerness to quickly jumpstart the whole new you. But instead of healing, you keep on adding pain to your bruised poor-heart. Now you’re pondering if “Have I skipped the process of moving-on? or “What the fuck! who said that there is a process?” It’s like a battle of your inner-self — relentless questioning and overthinking until it messes your own sanity.

Well, who said about the process of moving on? Wherein fact it’ll be up to your own timeline and how you want to proceed with your life. I said, “Don’t DATE to HEAL,” because dating without pure healing could lead up to self-loathing chaos. Ever wonder why dating apps skyrocketed sometime? I myself use some apps for diversion of boredom, heartbreak and loneliness. To the extent that it’s more disappointing because of the heaps of fakers, scammers and cat-fishers online.

After a few attempts, here you find a beautiful gem at the haystack of bitches and douches. But you haven’t realized it until it’s gone. Because you carried the pain and you allow to burden you. Subconsciously, you’re channeling your wounded heart onto someone who doesn’t deserve it. That’s when a right person comes in a wrong time.

Then you feel dumb realizing that you’ve shoveled your own tomb. You become anxious and feeling perpetual sadness. Which you have to be accountable. Now facing the mirror and asking, “Is it worthy to give it another shot?” or “Fuck-the-hell-up! shut your doors and be better alone.” There are times that you need to cut some slack and just let it be.

Because of the heartbreaks, pains, betrayals and grieving, your mind and emotions got all mixed-up and becomes clouded. You have forgotten that you also deserve to be found. To let LOVE comes to you. Until you’re ready to love and be loved.
