Stop thinking about how the past has broken you and think about how it made you the person you are today. Think of it as a learning experience rather than a moment wherein time froze and you wished you never existed. We all need to go through a hurdles and challenges to grow and gain self improvement. Just because you have chosen to love and it did not work out the way you expected, does not mean you are not worthy to be loved or to receive as much love as you were willing to shell out. You deserve to become the best, therefore you should never settle for less.
