Not giving up

 From Narcissistic Abuse is Real

Honestly,

she's just waiting for that one person to sit her

down, look her in the eyes and say,

"I'm not giving up on you. You're worth it. I'm 

going to learn how to love you right, and I'm not

going anywhere."

And actually mean it for once.

Because she's heard words before. She's been

promised forever by people who couldn't even

stay for a season. She's been shown affection that

faded the moment things got hard. So now, she 

doesn't just listen...she watches. She pays

attention to actions, consistency, effort.

She's not asking for perfection. She's not

expecting a fairytale. She just wants something

real. Someone who doesn't run when things get

uncomfortable. Someone who stays when it's

easier to leave. Someone who chooses her, even

on the days she's hard to understand.

She's tired of temporary people with permanent

words. Tired of being strong all the time. Deep

down, she just wants to feel safe enough to let her

guard down without the fear of being hurt again.

And when she finally meets someone who means

those words, who proves them through actions,

not just promises...she won't need convincing.

She'll feel it.

Honestly, 

she's just waiting for that one

person to sit her down, look at

her in the eyes and say,

"I'm not giving up on you. You're 

worth it. I'm going to learn how to

love you right, and I'm not going

anywhere.

And actually mean it for once.
