I loved and tomorrow: recovery from harmful relationships

A brief about the book: We always wait for someone.. we think that by their coming all our pains will disappear.. we delude ourselves that with their brightness over our dark universes, confusion and doubt will dissipate and peace will flood us.. we deceive ourselves, our greatest deception, when we whisper to ourselves during times of pain.. that someday.. and near someone.. we will feel complete! but we forget that our flaw is self-made.. and that our deficiency is fixed in us like an operating system.. and that the very person we saw as the savior and the way to liberation.. perhaps is the one who will give us our greatest disappointment.. and gather all our gaps into one big gap.. greater! and perhaps instead of flourishing beside them.. we may wither.. and withdraw.. and fade.. and melt! we forget that we need to improve our companionship with ourselves and heal our soul's flaw.. before we wait for the other to descend.. the other will never be our paradise as long as we only seek to numb our pains through them.. and that relationship, in its true essence, is nothing but an unconscious distraction from meeting the self and facing the truth of ourselves! toxic relationships start here.. when the relationship becomes merely an escape and a flight.. and nothing more.. and the most frequent offenders in choice mistakes are those who eagerly wait and anticipate with longing.. faces become confusing to them.. and they cast their emotional emptiness onto a passing face, seeing it differently from its reality... those who think they are quenching their thirst.. by chasing the mirage...! (Until it comes to them... and they find nothing) ! Quotes from the book "I loved, and tomorrow": "The one who harms does not change except when he hits rock bottom.. when he tastes real losses that shake his world with a violent tremor enough to awaken him." "Do not stay just because you fear the pain of separation. Do not linger because you are used to companionship and closeness. Do not wait just because you cannot bear loneliness. Do not distort your soul by remaining in a relationship that hurts you." "Loneliness is always better than a half-participation, a half-relationship, and false closeness."
