21 Love Quotes For When Everything Seems Totally HOPELESS
When everything seems hopeless, sometimes all we have are words.
weheartit When I was ghosted by a boyfriend of six months it was a type of heartbreak I'd never experienced before.
The idea that someone I loved would look at a text from me ("what time do you want to meet for dinner?") and decide to never acknowledge me again was so much more painful then him looking me square in the eye and saying that things weren't working out.
There is no easy way to have your heart broken, but there are ways that are kinder than others.
I nursed my wounds in a myriad of ways. I cried, I watched cartoons, I poured my heart out to my friends. I even took comfort in love quotes, that I hoped would put things in perspective. I found myself scrolling through Pinterest desperately looking for the right combination of words to make my hurt go away.
While there wasn't one quote in particular that healed all of my heart, the collective effect that wave of words had on me is undeniable.
The only thing that can fix a heart convinced that everything is hopeless is time. But reading love quotes like these made me feel a little less alone, and dang gum if that doesn't help too.
