Emotional scars from your past run deep.
A past relationship has left you hurt, vulnerable, and heavy-hearted. You have been carrying the burden because you have been too afraid to confront your emotions. Continuing to push them to the side has added further weight to your already heavy baggage.
Opening old wounds stirs up memories that pull on your heart strings. However, you must pull on those strings in order to heal. Lighten your load by revising these painful memories to replace feelings of guilt, shame, or regret. You cannot undo the past, but you can remove the damaging self-beliefs it helped create.
