I’ll never forget the day my professor changed my whole perspective on love. The class was loud until he asked, “If you’re in a relationship, do you still get crushes?” Silence washed over us. He drew a heart, wrote “Loyalty” and “Faithfulness” inside. “So if love contains these, why does someone else still catch your attention?”No one could answer. I whispered, “Because it’s not love.” He turns, smiles knowingly. “Exactly. Just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean you’re already in love. Sometimes we’re only in a relationship because we love the idea of being with someone who cares for us.” That line stayed with me. He wasn’t just teaching a subject… he was teaching life. 🫶
I’m not embarrassed about anything I went through. What may be “tea” for you, is a testimony for me. If you’re gonna talk about what broke me, invite me to the table so I can tell you what God did with the pieces. 🤍
You ever felt like a placeholder? Like somebody was only dealing with you until they could get the person they actually wanted? Using you as a filler to fill in the time until they could go where they rather be?
