Thank you for leaving..

That isn’t something I’d ever thought I would say.

It has taught me how to be alone.  It’s lonely but it will help me in the long run.

It’s very hard to let go. No one understands the pain but you. Even when you talk to people, they try to help but they just don’t get it. The pain fills up your body like the blood within your veins. Every time your heart pumps, it’s like the pain intensifies.

It’s hard when I only want to talk to you but I can’t even do that. It’s weird sometimes how when my phone vibrates, I always wish it was you. 

I have to remind myself that being alone is okay and I cannot be dependent upon others. Sometimes I don’t want to talk or see people. But this process will teach me to love myself so much more. I am trying to learn how to enjoy my own company.

I never asked to get my heart broken but who actually does ask for that to happen?

You come to terms with the fact that life isn’t a fairy tale and not every story has a happy ending.

Feeling pain isn’t pleasant but it lets me know I’m living. It lets me know that I am not afraid to give my all to someone even if they did not deserve it. It lets me know that I am capable of loving someone with all my heart and now I can learn to give myself the love I so freely give to others.

Getting hurt is an opportunity to remind yourself of how strong you can really be.

Pain doesn’t just have to hurt. It doesn’t have to just be constant suffering.

Being broken can lead to beautiful things.

It is not an easy thing to open up to someone. To tell them everything about you; your dreams, your fears, what makes to happy, what makes you sad. Opening up and exposing your raw self to someone is one of the hardest things to do in the world, but I did it and I am so proud of myself for doing that.

Thank you for hurting me. It is a constant reminder of how strong I am and will continue to be. I was brave enough to open up and always tell you how I felt, even if it hurt. I was brave enough to let you in, knowing what I knew and predicting that there was a chance of a better outcome.

Thank you for reminding me that I am capable of being stronger than I ever was.
