Dear Elizabeth:

“He doesn’t deserve my nostalgia”- make sure that you know that your past love for him, your past emotional investment in him, and your occasional longing for that past love (nostalgia) are not indications of your weakness, or wrongness. These are indications of your loving nature.

Protect your loving nature from him and from anyone who will misuse and abuse it, but see it as your strength, not your weakness. Be proud of it!
