Love Lessons

Meera had always been passionate about writing. She found solace in penning down her thoughts and emotions on paper. Her love for words led her to join a digital writing platform, where she came across Atharv, an exceptional writer from Mumbai. She was in awe of his writing style and soon found herself falling for his words.

The two started chatting and soon discovered their mutual love for writing. They spent hours discussing their favourite books, authors and sharing their writing. As time passed, their chats turned into long calls and before they knew it, they were in love.

Their relationship was going smoothly, and Meera was on cloud nine. But, little did she know that soon things were going to take a turn for the worse. Atharv started behaving strangely and would often ignore her messages and calls. Meera tried to brush it off, thinking that maybe he was busy with work, but it only got worse with time.

Days turned into weeks, and Meera's anxiety grew with each passing day. She had no idea what had gone wrong and was left heartbroken without any closure. She tried to talk to Atharv, but he was either unavailable or gave her a vague explanation. It felt like her world had come crashing down, and she didn't know how to deal with the pain.

For the next two years, Meera tried her best to move on from that experience, but the scars of heartbreak stayed with her. The once confident and happy Meera had now become insecure and fearful of not being enough. Atharv kept giving her guest appearances every few months and then ghosting her again. It felt like a never-ending cycle of heartache.

But, one day Meera realised that she deserved better than this. She deserved someone who loved her for who she was and didn't leave her without any explanation. She mustered up the courage to cut all connections from Atharv, and that was the moment when she started to heal.

It wasn't easy, but Meera learnt that not all love stories succeed. People nowadays don't know the real meaning of love. Love is not just about words and grand gestures; it's about being there for someone, even in their darkest hour. It's about loving someone for who they are and not what they can give you.

Today, Meera is happy and content with the new self. She has learnt that self-love is the most important love of all. It's only when you love yourself that you attract the right kind of love. Heartbreaks are a part of life, but they shouldn't define you. They should make you stronger and wiser. Meera is a living example of this, and she hopes that her story inspires others to love themselves and never settle for anything less than they deserve.
