There is a perspective known as: nearsightedness.

In this state, we can only see what's in front of us, but the distance ahead is blurry and unclear.

This perspective matters mostly when viewing different situations, how it can be approached, and how it can be handled.

But what if someone could influence that perspective, causing you to doubt your own self?

You might meet that person in your life.

Imagine, you meet someone, they fill the holes of your heart, they complete the puzzle piece that you've been searching for.

It's a rollercoaster of feelings as you are met with a myriad of different emotions.

From love, to lust, to empathy, to understanding.

But it may become short-lived.

Now, you're feeling a myriad of emotions, from confusion, to denial, to altruism, to grief, to defeat.

There's one side you've been shown, and one side that's been hidden.

You find yourself wondering how someone could love and hate you at the same time.

They lie, yet you keep forgiving them every time.

They would apologize today, but nothing would change the next day.

Mistakes are realized only after it's too late.

But what if only you knew beforehand? Your choice was a mistake–Now you're left with a toxic spiral of emotions that have sunk into a disaster.

You kept holding on, believing in the false hopes and truths.

Those mistakes would turn into regrets, and those regrets would turn around to haunt you.

It would become a curse that kept you from trying something new ever again.

Purely out of fear, and the thought, of repeating the same regretful mistake.

You begin to experience sadness and depression.

Those times of self-reflection would soon find its end, when you finally see what could keep you in peace.

Self-realization and acceptance.

To get out and move on is the most courageous thing you could do.

The first steps will be heavy, difficult, and taxing, yet getting used to it starts to bring the happiness you didn’t search for, yet realize you needed.

Self-commitment before commitment to others.

There are some things you can only see yourself when you look from your own heart, and not from others.

Life is full of challenges and trials, one cannot escape the inevitable sadness just like how one can always experience true love and happiness.

Diamonds are everywhere, and they are common, but you have to dig deeper until you find the right one.
