Don't deserve

 Posted by Alan Sinnott

Thank you for hurting me to the point that I realized I don't deserve someone like you.

I was so down on you that even if you fooled me a hundred times, I would still love you with everything I have. I've been treated poorly, disrespected, and betrayed over and over again. But I was so in love with you that I was willing to turn myself blind to all the bad things that you had done to me. I was literally the one who would willingly die for you. No matter how painful it was to love you, I would always choose to stay. I was so stupid to think that you would also do the same for me. I was so stupid to think that you could love me right too.

But today I want to say thank you for hurting me again. Not because I deserve it, but because I realized that I do not deserve any less. That I do not deserve you. I do not deserve all the heartbreaks that you gave me. It took me a lot of pain before I realized that I'm already tired of putting up with something that I do not deserve. I've cried a lot, hated myself for so long, and told myself that I wasn't enough so many times - all because I wasn't treated properly. You robbed my happiness and self-respect from me, yet I was still there for you, thinking that you were the only one who could make me happy.

Thank you for making me realize that you are not good for me. Thank you for hurting me so badly that I learned to realize that I deserve better.

Yourself

Posted by Chairty Rosen

Because you didn't want to lose him, you lost yourself in

the process.

You became a girl who endured mistreatment, telling 

yourself, "I'm used to it."

You accepted being unappreciated, convincing yourself,

"It's okay."

You learned to downplay your worth, saying, "I'm fine."

You let others put you last, reacting with resigned, "It's

whatever."

You allowed yourself to  be taken for granted, responding

with, "Everything's okay."

You lived in unhappiness, assuring everyone, "I'm going to

be fine."

If you're reading this now, it's time to realize: no guy is

worth losing yourself over.

No one is worth your suffering at the cost of your

happiness.

So, let go of that old self.

Focus on YOU!

Reclaim your life and get yourself back!

Bare minimum

 From The Bat Wolf

I came across a quote that said,

"Just because I don't require 

much doesn't mean I deserve

the bare minimum."

And that hit different.

Affect

You let your bad days affect you too much.

You don't let your good days affect you enough.

Fix that.

Return with water

 The most beautiful souls

are the ones who walk

out of the fire and then

return with water for

those who are still in it.

The wind

How can I blame the wind for the

mess it made, if it was me who

opened the window.

Good rule

#1 RULE:

Never get so attached that you accept being disrespected, used, lied to, or cheated on.
