Aarthi Muthulakshmi's Key Ideas from I Don't Love You Anymore
by Rithvik Singh

Just because your path is unclear doesn’t mean light doesn’t exist. It doesn’t mean the journey isn’t beautiful or worth it.

Your heart becomes the heaviest thing to carry when it’s over flowing with love for someone who always leaves you feeling unworthy of love

you’re everywhere around me and within me—even though you’re not in love with me anymore.

Love is not a trophy you’ve to fight for but a gift someone wants to give you everyday without you having to ask them for it

You’re staying with them because you’re scared of being heartbroken, but tell me, aren’t they already breaking your heart every day?

I went to a store, and a signboard said,

“If you break something, consider it yours.”

Things have a way of belonging to you, even after you break them. The way I still belong to you, despite everything.

You said you loved me, but you did nothing to make me stay. I told you what others did to my heart, and you left me feeling exactly the same way.

It hurts me to think that it didn’t hurt you when I left. That it, in fact, made you feel better. That my presence in people’s lives is a weight on their shoulders, and no amount of love from my end can ever change that.

My heart was the snow you buried your footprints in. You’re always with me even when you aren’t.

The world can refuse to love you, but may you never stop being the first person who makes you smile ☺️

I have bettered the art of leaving people, but I'm yet to learn how to take my heart with me.

You serve your heart to them on a platter once again, hoping they’ve changed,

but the only thing that changes is the way they choose to crush your heart. The method changes, but the pain remains.

I’ll sit down one day and not use a semicolon to talk about us. I’d use a fullstop. I’d accept that there’s nothing more left to our story.

You cannot see my heart break, but that doesn’t mean I’m all right.

The person you’re running towards has run out of love for you. You can run all you want, but that version of them doesn’t exist anymore. And I know it hurts, but it’s time for you to stop loving them, too.

Moving on isn’t about learning to love someone else. It’s about going about your day without thinking if that person is thinking about you.
