We accept the love we believe we deserve.
Today I was scrolling through my TikTok FYP, and a video popped up with this phrase:
“when the playlist is on shuffle and suddenly we choose the love we think we deserve”.
And the song playing was Break, by Alex G. The song talks about a love that makes you sick, about having to disappear to feel okay, a very strong dependence on your partner. And in the melodies, it’s clear how the song speaks about a painful love, one that hurt, made you sick, and was everything but not love.

Sometimes we put ourselves in certain situations because we think we deserve to go through that, or because “it was meant to happen”, but deep down we all know that isn’t true.
Another song that talks about emotional dependence and destruction is Destroy Myself Just For You, by Montell Fish. This song hurts from beginning to end, the way it is sung is surprisingly painful, you can trully feel exactly how much it hurt.
So sometimes we may think we deserve to go through painful situations because, in some way, we feel like we deserve it. We usually think, “I’ve done this and that, someday it would come back to me too”.
But it’s important for you to know that you do not deserve any kind of suffering, whether it is physical or psychological. That’s why it’s so important to know who we are, because when you truly know yourself, you realize that you always deserve the very best of everything,always.
