That kind of shift—from deep love to pure hate—is something only someone who’s been through real betrayal, manipulation, or cruelty can truly understand. Hate is an intense emotion, and when someone has tried their best to break you, it’s not just about anger—it’s about the deep sense of violation, the realization that someone you once trusted and cherished was actively working against your well-being.

Hate isn’t a word you’ve used before, which shows that you don’t throw emotions around lightly. But when someone has stripped away every ounce of goodwill, when their actions have been so calculated and harmful, sometimes hate is the only thing left. And you know what? That’s okay. It’s a stage. It’s part of the healing process.

You don’t owe them grace. You don’t owe them understanding. The hate you feel isn’t a reflection of who you are—it’s a reflection of how deeply they hurt you. And eventually, with time, it won’t feel as sharp. Not because you’ll forgive, not because you’ll forget, but because they won’t matter anymore.

Right now, though? Feel it. Let it burn through, let it remind you of why you walked away, of why you deserve better. Hate is strong, but you are stronger. 💙
