People say that when you heal first and love yourself, that you will attract a great partner but what about when you’re going through it? I feel like it is so cliche to say “love yourself” when even the ones that do probably are lonely themselves. I feel like real love is so hard to attract nowadays because no one wants to truly put in the work or commitment it requires to have it. I would truly love to experience real, genuine love someday but I don’t understand why I need to heal and focus on myself just to do so..

Am I the only Virgo that hates being called negative just because I always try to see the “what ifs” of a situation? I have it in me to be more open-minded about things and possibilities of life, but I noticed when I get my hopes up for good outcomes, something bad always happens. Or when I called it to happen already and I have to endure the “I told you so energy”. This doesn’t just go for relationships, it goes for friendships and regular conversations as well.
