After Being Cheated On, I'm Rethinking Love

Nice to meet you.
Thank you for finding this note 🌷
My name is Maro.

I started this note because I wanted to leave behind
my past romantic experiences, what I learned from them, and self-care tips to protect my heart,
and share them with someone.

In the past, I have been cheated on
and have had many relationships where I put myself last.

Even so, now,
I am building a peaceful relationship with someone
who makes me feel like I am truly cherished.

I hope to gradually put into words the things I realized during that process,
and the things I wish I could have told my past self.

⸻

First, a brief self-introduction 🤝

・Woman in her 20s / Office worker
・I love eating, movies, and exercising
・Quite prone to falling in love easily (working on it...)
・I like listening to people's problems

⸻

What I want to share in this note

・Love episodes based on real experiences
・Things I learned and realized from love
・My own perspective on love
・Common traits of people who struggle in love
・Self-care to avoid dependency
・Self-care that I actually tried and found helpful
and so on.

⸻

Everyone's perspective on love and their style of loving is truly different.

There are no right or wrong answers,
and if the person involved feels happy,
I believe that is a "happy relationship."

Even so,
there are moments when you feel helplessly pained
or lose sight of yourself, aren't there?

In this note,
I hope we can explore together
ways of thinking that make your heart feel a little lighter
and hints for finding yourself again
amidst that "helplessness."

⸻

I would be happy if this note
could be a step toward someone's happiness
or a place where your heart feels a little lighter.

I will continue to update this at my own pace 🌿

Thank you for reading
my very first article
to the end 😊
