I’m not breaking my own heart so others can be whole anymore

 

I’ve spent too much time trying to fix, save or make others whole that didn’t really care about me.

It was always about what I could do for them or how I could help them..and the things I wanted never seemed to matter.

No matter how deeply I cared, how much I loved or everything I did, it was never enough.

I was always the one left holding pieces of a broken heart while they moved on to someone new.

After a while, you just get tired of picking up the pieces and trying to pull yourself back together..

I made up my mind I’m done breaking my own heart to make others whole.

I’m done lowering my standards to let people that didn’t deserve my time, my attention or my affection take so much from me.

Every breakup taught me something and each friend that vanished was a lesson.

I realized who was there for me all along and who was just a chapter in my story.

People will enter your life for a reason, a season or to be a lesson..

That was something I had to truly take to heart and realize who was going to stick around..and who was just passing through.

I had to stop accepting lesser treatment from lesser people..

The ones that came along to use me, mistreat me or abuse me in whatever way suited their needs.

I’m done with that.

I’m better than that.

I’m more than enough and I deserve better than the treatment I’ve allowed from others.

It’s hard sometimes to let people go that were never meant for you, but the ones that love me will always accept and support me because they’ve always stood by my side.

Today seems like a great day to start a new story..

One full of hope, promise and love..

I’m leaving all the negativity and baggage behind, because it’s not going to do anything but weigh me down.

So, I’m raising a toast to the new me, a new day and a new story.

I’ve got a new attitude, a new perspective and new dreams..

And they all start with me-

Because I’m amazing..

And I’m more than just worth it,

I’m worth it all.
