I’m slowly learning that discovering your self-worth will aggravate a lot of people who seemed to profit from your insecurities.

You heal when you don’t look at your heartbreak as an ending but rather as a new beginning. You heal when you remember the lesson and forget the pain.

You believe that you’re unworthy of love and attention because your past taught you that you’ll never be loved the way you always wanted to. You continue to settle for half-love or almost relationships because that’s what you know for sure. That’s what you got used to. That’s what you secretly think you deserve.

So if I’m being honest, I’m glad it wasn’t me. I’m glad I wasn’t your temporary choice. I’m glad you didn’t pick me for another heartbreak.

If you keep investing in people who only drain you, you’re going to lose. If you keep respecting people who don’t respect you, you’ll eventually believe that it’s okay for people to treat you poorly and get away with it.

He’s not hung up on an ex or another girl. A real man is loyal. If he decides to date you, he’s dating you because he likes you, not because he’s trying to get over an ex or trying to forget another girl.

And sometimes I think that dreams are just God’s way of speaking to us, guiding us or giving us a hint, a sign or an answer we’ve been desperately searching for. 

I’m done trying to find heaven in the arms of those who make my life a living hell.

And that’s when it hits you that these people never loved you for who you are, they only loved because you made them feel better about themselves. They only loved you when they knew they could break you.

Let me tell you about my lies: I lied when I told you that I was fine. The truth is I cried myself to sleep the night before because I miss you.

It’s not a crime to speak up, to let people know they hurt you, to walk away from people who constantly offend you with their words or their actions and it’s not a crime to remember your worth and remember that you deserve to be treated with respect.

Your best friends make your life better, they make it easier, they make it more delightful but you’re the only one who can make your life fascinating. You’re the only who can make yourself happy. You’re the only who can change your life.

It’s feeling sorry for myself every night and mourning your loss every morning. It’s remembering that you exist but you’re not mine.

Because the people around us have an impact on who we become, they can help us become the best versions of ourselves or the worst depending on which part they feed, which part they highlight and which part they nourish.

You’re not afraid of the ‘void.’ You’re not trying to desperately fill the void your last relationship left with anyone. You’ve learned that it’s better to be alone than with someone you don’t see a future with or someone you’re using as a rebound.

Forget the rejection, focus on the redirection. The better plans God had for you, the supportive people God brought into your life. The faith you now have in the universe that helps you let go of things that are not meant for you,

They don’t want love, they want attention.

I know you’re capable of leaving. I know you’re capable of realizing that you deserve so much better.
