And most of all, I promise to let you know, every day, how valued you are.

I’ve always had a specific idea of how my love life would go. And you threw a curveball into any plans that I could have never foreseen.

Yes, I have sex on the first date, but that doesn’t mean I don’t deserve respect.

You deserved to know how I felt, how I still feel. But I couldn’t bear to open up like this, to make myself so vulnerable.

Stop fighting for a love that doesn’t make your heart full.

One day you’ll find someone who makes you realize that real love is effortless.

Everything ends.

Take a deep breath. Count to three. Exhale.

You feel lonely. Every day and night. Then you feel ashamed because it makes you sound ungrateful.

Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Don’t settle for less than you need and want.

You wouldn’t be the incredible and knowledgeable person that you’ve become. And that would be a shame.

I know that the hardest part of ending is starting again. But if you never even try, you won’t know all the things that you’re capable of.
