Question from @Furkan (original post):
@SaintSovereign @qOS in my situation (romantically) and especially if you consider my situation with this girl would you recommend me to run new heartsong? Or would it make worse?
Summary
@Furkan — now that the new Heartsong is out, here is a straight answer from its page, read against what you have written in this journal.
Does it fit your situation? Yes, Stage 1 does, closely.
Heartsong Stage 1 (Attuned) is built around almost exactly the things you have been describing. Worthy Before Chosen is about your worth no longer being decided by whether one person looks at you or replies. Wanting Cleanly is about wanting love without the grip, staying whole on the days the wish goes unanswered. Rejection Without Verdict is about a no being information about someone else’s heart rather than a sentence on yours, so the sting passes and your dignity stays. Secure Ground is about the tide you named yourself: reaching too hard, then forcing yourself to be indifferent. Whole Before Anyone is about building a life that is already good, the city walks, the research plan, the people worth your time, so that a partner joins something rather than rescues a silence. And Neither Scarce Nor Perfect speaks directly to “I’m 23 and I’ve had nothing”: the page calls “it’s too late” one of the two great lies. The stage is written for the single and the partnered alike, and the page names it as the place to begin.
Would it make things worse?
Two honest things. First, Heartsong never reaches into anyone else’s heart; the page is explicit that it works on how you stand, what you say and what you choose, not on her. So if the hope underneath is that it turns her toward you, it is not built for that, and expecting it would set you up for disappointment. Second, the page does describe old reflexes stirring on the way, a sharp tone or a late reply touching an old ache, and it describes meeting those moments with kindness and looking at what is actually happening now. That is the work, not a sign of it going wrong. Nothing on the page points toward deeper fixation; every feature points toward steadiness. The most likely direction is the one you said you want: her losing the influence she has over your days, and you becoming someone who can want, ask and hear a no without it costing you yourself.
Which stage, and how it sits with your stack
Attuned first, not The Symphony. The page says to begin with Attuned and let it settle; The Symphony is the stage for when you are actively seeking a partner from a settled place, so it comes later. As for Khan, Wanted and Godlike Masculinity, the Heartsong page describes itself as playing well alongside other titles and pairs Attuned with the sovereign-masculine line, so it does not fight the direction you are already building.

One closing note: the page is clear that Heartsong tunes the instrument and you play it. The days you said felt best were the ones you spent out in Istanbul rather than in the dorm. Keep doing that, and let the title do its work underneath it.
