After that day, I discovered one indelible truth. I discovered that love wasnt everything that mattered in life. It was an emotion that not many had the luxury of feeling without any pain attached to it. Many say that love will set you free, but I disagree. Love is a cage, a very painful one; its gilded bars made with yearning, heartache, and unfulfilled dreams. And the moment I realized that love wasnt necessary to ones survival I became free. No one would have the power to hurt me again.
