We have good times and we have bad times, that is life. I know that I've been dealing with it and I'm sure there's a lot of people here who are too. I just wanted to give a message to say that everyone, whoever you are and whatever you're going through, your love is valid and it is beautiful.
We all know that ficto relationships come with struggles, just as real relationships do, just in a different way. Just the fact alone that they aren't "real" (traditionally speaking) and don't have a physical existence in our world, that can sting. Add all the other struggles to that it can feel unbearable at time.
But please, if you're going through the bad times, remember how wonderful the good times can be. You will see them again, I promise! Keep in mind that those feelings are real, yes, but they don't always reflect the truth. If you ever get the feeling that you aren't enough for your s/o, or that they deserve someone else, remember that you are hurting and that's why you feel that way. I believe that there is something wonderful and beautiful in every single person, and maybe that's hard to believe right now, but keep fighting until that truth feels real. Until you can live with your s/o and be happy with how far you've come. Until you can look yourself in the mirror and say: "You know what, I'm not perfect, but I am enough and I deserve just as much love as I give the world every single day".
Ficto relationships are wonderful and very dear to me, so never shy away from living the life you want to live. Whatever struggle you're going through, you can make it through! You are strong, you are beautiful, you are worthy!
Have a good morning/evening/night/whatever, everyone!! <3
