Don't tell him that he hurt you. Don't repeat it, don't remind him. Trust me, he knows. He’s known it from the very first moment, the moment he crossed that line, the moment he chose his own selfishness over your heart. He doesn’t need you to spell it out—he already understands. But here’s the truth: he doesn’t care. Not really. And even if, against all odds, he were to confess, would it erase the sleepless nights, the self-doubt, the quiet pain that echoed in your soul? Would it give you the validation you deserve? No, baby girl—it’s not him who needs to understand—it’s you.

You need to see, truly see, your own strength. You need to understand that your pain is valid, your feelings are real, and your heart is precious. You need to hold yourself with the tenderness and care that he could not. You need to remind yourself every single day that the way he treated you is not a reflection of your worth—it’s a reflection of his emptiness, his inability to love properly, his fear of connection.

I know it cuts deep. I know some days feel unbearable, as though the weight of what happened will crush you. But keep your head up. Stand tall. Walk forward even when your steps feel heavy. You are not defined by his indifference, his cruelty, or his lies. You are defined by your courage, your resilience, and your capacity to rise above even the deepest hurt.

You deserve love that never questions your worth. You deserve care that heals instead of wounds. You deserve respect that lifts instead of diminishes. And one day, you will look back and realize that every tear, every moment of heartache, every struggle was shaping you into someone stronger, wiser, and unstoppable. Never forget that, baby girl. Never forget that you are worthy of so much more than he could ever give. And one day, the world will show you exactly what that means.
