I don't recognize myself

 "Lately, I don’t even recognize myself. I don’t laugh like I used to. I don’t smile the same. I speak less, feel less. It’s like the weight of everything has quietly changed me."

I realized love hurt most

 "I used to think falling in love was the easy part...

until I met you — and realized love hurts most

when you feel it deeply… but can never call it yours."

Know your worth and never forget how valuable your love and presence really is

 Stop telling yourself that you’re stupid for loving them!

Stop regretting the fact that you loved them so deeply, that you unconditionally gave them your entire heart, your soul, your mind, your body, and everything that you had to offer.

That’s exactly what you’re meant to do!

You were meant to love them deeply.

You were meant to fight for your relationship and for the person you loved so dearly.

What they chose to do with your love has absolutely nothing to do with the value of your love.

There is nothing to regret, and there’s no reason to keep telling yourself that you were stupid for not seeing things sooner.

You weren’t stupid, you loved and trusted someone in good faith who should have loved you back.

You weren’t supposed to be looking out for things.

You were supposed to feel safe and loved.

What they did has nothing to do with you.

What they did comes from who they were long before you came along, and they chose not to deal with it.

So take all of the hurt and all of the pain, heal from it but learn the lessons from it because you’ll be better for it.

Sometimes the reason things don’t work out is because you deserve so much better than what you were settling for; and you now get to take the beautiful new person that you’re becoming as a result of everything you’ve been through, and give that to someone who truly deserves your heart.

You get to give the best version of yourself to someone who actually appreciates you, who appreciates how hard you've worked on yourself, and to someone who matches the effort and love that you give to them.

Someone who knows how to love properly, and who’s ready to give love from a place of love.

Someone who sees your worth for not only who you already are, but who you’re also becoming.  

So don’t let the person who lost you steal that away from you.

Feel proud of the love you gave.

Feel proud that you gave them your soul, and that you loved as deeply as you could have because that says more about who you are as a person, and that’s something to be truly proud of.

Feel proud about knowing that the one who treats you right will receive all of you.

Know your worth and never forget how valuable your love and presence really is.

You weren't stupid, you did exactly what you were meant to do because what you gave was a reflection of your character and the values that you place around love.

 “Be careful who you pushes away — one day you might realize you lost the one person who would’ve never walked away from you.”

Your time is precious so don’t waste on someone who doesn't value you

 Who we want in a Relationship.

 We want someone to come into our lives who knows how to manage emotional trauma, that has intelligence, and someone that can give us the world without us even asking. 

  Countless nights go by and we catch ourselves praying that maybe tomorrow we will find our soulmate that will make everything feel like a book that Nicholas Sparks wrote. 

 We want someone that notices us on a daily basis, respects us, admires us and treats us like a priority rather than an option. 

 We want someone who wants to protect our well-being and invests their time in our own happiness. 

 We want to be with someone who isn't afraid to hurt others people's feelings to protect ours. 

 We want someone who wakes up everyday looking for new ways to love us.

 We want someone who chooses us under any circumstance. 

 We want to be with someone who refuses to entertain any other person that's not us.

 We want someone that will continue chasing us long after, they have already had us.

 We all will eventually find someone who will give us the love and affection we have always longed for, but you always have to remember no matter what... It’s never too late to find someone who appreciates and values you for who you truly are as a person inside and out.

 Take my advice .... and always remember that your time is precious. So don't waste it on someone who doesn't realize you are too.

You deserve a real love

 He said “I LOVE YOU” while cheating on you.

____________________________

Straight to your face.

No shame. 

No guilt. 

Just lies wrapped in sweet words.

That’s not love, that’s pure disrespect.

He wanted the benefits of 

your loyalty while living like 

he was single.

He wanted your trust while 

breaking it over and over 

behind your back.

And the worst part? 

He made you question yourself.

Like you were the problem.

Like you needed to do more, 

love harder, give more of yourself 

just to keep him.

"No. Stop right there."

He didn’t cheat because you 

weren’t enough.

He cheated because he’s a 

coward who didn’t deserve 

you in the first place.

A man who truly loves you 

doesn’t risk losing you.

He doesn’t lie. He doesn’t sneak. 

He doesn’t cheat.

He protects what he values...

and if he betrayed you, 

that means he never really valued you.

So don’t waste your time 

crying over someone who 

had the audacity to betray 

you while saying “I love you.”

Let him go.

Let him be someone else’s headache.

You deserve real love; 

honest, 

loyal, 

and loud.

Not a walking contradiction with a guilty smile.
