You DID NOT love HIM. You loved the idea of him, which you painted out of a mirror. It was not him you loved.
Remember this and it will save you. The supposedly beautiful person you loved - it was you who had the capacity to draw that beautiful painting on a perhaps plain person.
Do you see that it is you who is beautiful if you had the capacity to visualize such a powerful and beautiful person? And not HIM?
It is you who has the power, the beauty, and the intelligence - but you are wrongly attributing it to him. And now you are chasing it almost like your are chasing your own shadow and you will never get it, because it is your shadow which you are seeking elsewhere.
I think you really are a beautiful person. And you are very incorrectly, assuming yourself to be ugly and the other persons to be beautiful, and wishing to merge with them, while all along, your beauty is the one that has been the guiding thing.
