it's okay.

So, I decided to check my ask.fm earlier and there was this not-so-important question and my answer was "to hurt someone you used to love is to hurt yourself."
And I wanted to clarify myself. You shouldn't care about people whom you used to love. You don't even love them anymore. And there must be a reason why you don't love them anymore. Sure, you had a history with them but something happened and you stopped loving them. Maybe they hurt you, or you hurt them first or maybe you guys just drifted away but you should NOT care about them anymore. Sometimes you have to be a little selfish and think about yourself only. If you're happy doing the things you are doing now but you know it hurts the people from your past, then do it anyway. And besides, sometimes people worry too damn much. Maybe they do not even think about you anymore, so why should you?

Seriously, you should NOT care about the people you used to love. The word "used to" is there for a reason. If you think you're hurting them, then who cares? As long as you are happy then keep doing it. It's okay to leave pain in people's life. It will teach them a lesson about life and I think everyone wants to leave a little heartbreak in someone's heart. It makes them feel superior. It makes them feel good to know that they can impact someone's life so much. It sounds kind of cruel but if you keep thinking about them, when are you going to start thinking about yourself? You should not relate your happiness to your past or the people in it. Your happiness is from you and everything in the present. It's okay to be a little selfish, it's okay to hurt someone in the process of making a little happiness for you.
